Defect-unbinding and the Bose-glass transition in layered superconductors

C. J. van der Beek, M. Konczykowski, A. V. Samoilov +3

The low-field Bose-glass transition temperature in heavy-ion irradiated Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8+d increases progressively with increasing density of irradiation-induced columnar defects,…
