Reply to ‘‘Comment on ‘Uniaxial anisotropic flux trapping in Y-Ba-Cu-O and Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O single crystals’ ’’

By comparing data of the angular dependence of the remanent magnetization for a ceramic sample and for a single crystal of ${\mathrm{YBa}}_2$ ${\mathrm{Cu}}_3$ ${\mathrm{O}}_7$ with similar demagnetization factors, we conclude that intrinsic anisotropy contributes significantly to anisotropic flux trapping in the crystal.
