  The influence of Twin Boundaries (TB) on the Flux Line Lattice(FLL) structure
was investigated by Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). YBaCuO single
crystals possessing different TB densities were studied. The SANS experiments
show that the TB strongly modify the structure of the FLL. The flux lines
meander as soon as the magnetic field makes an angle with the TB direction.
According to the value of this angle but also to the ratio of the flux lines
density over the TB density, one observes that the FLL exhibits two different
unit cells in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. One is the
classical hexagonal and anisotropic cell while the other is affected by an
additional deformation induced by the TB. We discuss a possible relation
between this deformation and the increase of the critical current usually
observed in heavily twinned samples.
