N2 - Two types of memory effects have been observed in magnetostriction measurements on NbTi alloy samples within and outside the peak effect region. Intrinsic and extrinsic forms of disorder are argued to be responsible for each of them. The asymmetry between the fields marking the entrance and exit of the peak region is found to scale with the size of the samples, which contradicts the first-order phase transition between the ordered and disordered states.
