Magnetization studies were conducted on a single crystal of $YNi_{2}$$B_{2}$C superconductor. The 17 mg crystal was studied at temperatures T from above $T_{c}$ (15.5 K) to 3 K, in the magnetic fields H // c-axis up to 6 tesla. The crystal exhibited little magnetic irreversibility, with a critical current density $CO_{3}$ ~ $10^{-4}$ $\times$ $CO_{3}$, the depairing current density. Near $T_{c}$, the equilibrium magnetization M was London-like with M $\infty$ In(H). The upper critical field $H_{c2}$ of the single crystal $YNi_{2}$$B_{2}$C was estimated by the several alternative approaches such as standard London limit, Ginzburg-Landau, and Abrikosov relations. The estimated $H_{c2}$values agree relatively well with each other approaches.

Local field distribution in the mixed state of type II superconductors has been numerically calculated and compared with $^{11}$B NMR spectra for YNi$_2B_2C$ single crystals. We find that only small distortion of vortex positions from the perfect lattice points is enough to smear out the low frequency shoulder. As the vortices are further distorted, the line shape changes from an asymmetric shape with a high frequency tail to a symmetric Gaussian line shape. It is found that the second moment of the field distribution has a major contribution from the high frequency tail. Consequently, a linewidth of the full width at half maximum calculated from the second moment assuming for a Gaussian line shape is overestimated.

In this paper, firstly we have derived and presented the specific heat jump as a function of the critical temperature. Secondly, we have analyzed the sign and magnitude of the derived specific heat jump and predicted the expected experimental results. And lastly, we have compared the expected experimental results with the real experimental results. Theoretically derived specific heat jump is considerably compatible with the specific heat jump up and down phenomena of the $YNi_2B_2C$ crystal. Especially, the remarkable theoretical prediction-hat the specific heat would jump down during the normal state-to-superconducting state transition at extremely low temperatures-have been confirmed by the experimental results.
