On the nature of the phase transitions in two-dimensional type II superconductors
Niels R. Walet, M. A. Moore
We have simulated the thermodynamics of vortices in a thin film of a type-II superconductor. We make the lowest Landau level approximation, and use quasi-periodic boundary conditio…
Liquid-to-liquid phase transition in pancake vortex systems
Joonhyun Yeo, M. A. Moore
We study the thermodynamics of a model of pancake vortices in layered superconductors. The model is based on the effective pair potential for the pancake vortices derived from the…
First-Order Transition and Critical End-Point in Vortex Liquids in Layered Superconductors
Joonhyun Yeo, M. A. Moore
We calculate various thermodynamic quantities of vortex liquids in a layered superconductor by using the nonperturbative parquet approximation method, which was previously used to…
Absence of a Finite-Temperature Melting Transition in the Classical Two-Dimensional One-Component Plasma
M. A. Moore, A. Perez-Garrido
Vortices in thin-film superconductors are often modelled as a system of particles interacting via a repulsive logarithmic potential. Arguments are presented to show that the hypoth…
Numerical studies of the phase diagram of layered type II superconductors in a magnetic field
A. K. Kienappel, M. A. Moore
We report on simulations of layered superconductors using the Lawrence-Doniach model in the framework of the lowest Landau level approximation. We find a first order phase transiti…
The Low-Field Critical End Point of the First Order Transition Line in YBCO
A. K. Kienappel, M. A. Moore
We report on simulations of the first order phase transition in YBCO using the Lawrence-Doniach model. We find that the magnetization discontinuity vanishes and the first order tra…
