Geometrical confinement effects in layered mesoscopic vortex-matter

N. R. Cejas Bolecek, M. I. Dolz, A. Kolton +7

We study geometrical confinement effects in Bi${}_2$Sr${}_2$CaCu${}_2$O${}_{8+\delta }$ mesoscopic vortex-matter with edge-to-surface ratio of $7-12$%. Samples have in-plane square and ci…
