Effect of pinning and driving force on the metastability effects in weakly pinned superconductors and the determination of spinodal line pertaining to order-disorder transition

A. D. Thakur, S. S. Banerjee, M. J. Higgins +2

We explore the effect of varying drive on metastability features exhibited by the vortex matter in single crystals of 2H-NbSe${}_2$ and CeRu${}_2$ with varying degree of random pinning…
