Size-induced depression of first-order transition lines and entropy-jump in extremely-layered nanocrystalline vortex matter

M. I. Dolz, Y. Fasano, N. R. Cejas Bolecek +4

We detect the persistence of the solidification and order-disorder first-order transition lines in the phase diagram of nanocrystalline Bi${}_2$Sr${}_2$CaCu${}_2$O${}_8$ vortex mat…
