Nanomechanics of an individual vortex in an anisotropic type-II superconductor
E. H. Brandt, G. P. Mikitik, E. Zeldov
As shown in recent experiments [Auslaender et al., Nature Physics 5, 35 (2009)] magnetic force microscopy permits one not only to image but also to manipulate an individual vortex…
Dynamics of single vortices in grain boundaries: I-V characteristics on the femto-volt scale
B. Kalisky, J. R. Kirtley, E. A. Nowadnick +7
We employed a scanning Hall probe microscope to detect the hopping of individual vortices between pinning sites along grain boundaries in YBCO thin films in the presence of an appl…
Dynamic Creation and Annihilation of Metastable Vortex Phase as a Source of Excess Noise
Y. Paltiel, G. Jung, Y. Myasoedov +4
The large increase in voltage noise, commonly observed in the vicinity of the peak-effect in superconductors, is ascribed to a novel noise mechanism. A strongly pinned metastable d…
Edge and Bulk Transport in the Mixed State of a Type-II Superconductor
Z. L. Xiao, E. Y. Andrei, Y. Paltiel +3
By comparing the voltage-current (V-I) curves obtained before and after cutting a sample of 2H-NbSe2, we separate the bulk and edge contributions to the transport current at variou…
Temperature variations of the disorder-induced vortex-lattice melting landscape
A. Soibel, Y. Myasoedov, M. L. Rappaport +3
Differential magneto-optical imaging of the vortex-lattice melting process in Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8 crystals reveals unexpected effects of quenched disorder on the broadening of the fi…
Shear-induced vortex decoupling in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 crystals
B. Khaykovich, D. T. Fuchs, K. Teitelbaum +6
Simultaneous transport and magnetization studies in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 crystals at elevated currents reveal large discrepancies, including finite resistivity at temperatures of 40K belo…
Melting of regular and decoupled vortex lattices in BSCCO crystals
M. Konczykowski, C. J. van der Beek, M. V. Indenbom +1
The angular dependence of the first-order phase transition (FOT) in the vortex lattice in BiSrCaCuO crystals was investigated by a low frequency AC shieldin…
Surface barrier dominated transport in NbSe
Y. Paltiel, D. T. Fuchs, E. Zeldov +3
Transport current distribution in clean 2-NbSe crystals is studied by measuring the self-induced magnetic field across the sample. Below most of the current flows at…
