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…

A study of supercooling of the disordered vortex phase via minor hysteresis loops in 2H-NbSe_2
G. Ravikumar
We report on the observation of novel features in the minor hysteresis loops in a clean crystal of NbSe_2 which displays a peak effect. The observed behavior can be explained in te…
