Suppression of the Melting Line in a Weakly Disordered Flux-line System
Gautam I. Menon, G. Ravikumar, M. J. Higgins +1
An analytic formula describing the suppression of the equilibrium melting line by quenched point pinning disorder is compared to data from ac susceptibility and magnetization measu…
Structure of the flux lines lattice in NbSe2: Equilibrium state and influence of the magnetic history
A. Pautrat, M. Aburas, Ch. Simon +5
We have performed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) of the flux line lattice (FLL) in a Fe doped NbSe_2 sample which presents a large peak effect in the critical current. The s…
Why pinning by surface irregularities can explain the peak effect in transport properties and neutron diffraction results in NbSe2 and Bi-2212 crystals?
Charles Simon, Alain Pautrat, Christophe Goupil +6
The existence of a peak effect in transport properties (a maximum of the critical current as function of magnetic field) is a well-known but still intriguing feature of type II sup…
Metastable states of a flux line lattice studied by transport and Small Angle Neutron Scattering
A. Pautrat, J. Scola, Ch. Simon +5
Flux Lines Lattice (FLL) states have been studied using transport measurements and Small Angle Neutron Scattering in low T materials. In Pb-In, the bulk dislocations in the FLL…
Comparison of Phase Boundaries between Kagome and Honeycomb Superconducting Wire Networks
Yi Xiao, David A. Huse, Paul M. Chaikin +3
We measure resistively the mean-field superconducting-normal phase boundaries of both kagome and honeycomb wire networks immersed in a transverse magnetic field. In addition to the…
Vortex phases
T. Giamarchi, S. Bhattacharya
These lecture notes are meant to provide a pedagogical introduction, and present the latest theoretical and experimental developments on the physics of vortices in type II supercon…
