Columnar Defects and Scaling Behavior in Quasi 2D Type II Superconductors

Gregory M. Braverman, Sergey A. Gredeskul, Yshai Avishai

Persistent scaling behavior of magnetization in layered high $T_c$ superconductors with short--range columnar defects is explained within the Ginzburg Landau theory. In the weak fi…
