The non-hexagonal flux-line lattice in superconductors
A generalized form of Ginzburg–Landau theory is proposed which explains the non-hexagonal flux-line lattice found both in metallic and magnetic superconductors without invoking any anisotropic material-dependent properties. The Gibbs energy density postulated for magnetic superconductors (g) is of the form g(B, T ) = α|ψ |2 + 1 2β|ψ |4 + [1/(2m)]|(−ih̄∇−2eA)ψ |2 + ∫ (B/μ0 − Mions) · dB − (B/μ0 −...
متن کاملFlux-lattice melting in artificially layered superconductors.
We apply a previously described lowest-Landau-level formalism to treat flux-lattice melting in artificially layered superconductors, using Monte Carlo methods. For a pin-free layered system, the model predicts a single phase transition with simultaneous ordering both within one layer and between layers. The melting curve calculated using this model agrees reasonably well with experiments of Koo...
متن کاملSe p 19 96 Instabilities in the Flux Line Lattice of Anisotropic Superconductors
The stability of the flux line lattice has been investigated within anisotropic London theory. This is the first full-scale investigation of instabilities in the 'chain' state, the equilibrium lattice that is similar to the Abrikosov lattice at large fields but crosses over smoothly to a pinstripe structure at low fields. By calculating the normal modes of the elasticity matrix, it has been fou...
متن کاملInvestigation of symmetry-breaking flux-line lattice phases in superconductors by small-angle neutron scattering
In single-crystal superconductors in the mixed state, flux-line structures may have a lower symmetry than the host crystal. In this case, multiple degenerate flux lattice domains may be present simultaneously and give rise to complicated small-angle diffraction patterns. The interpretation of these patterns in terms of the flux lattice structure in a single domain is discussed, with particular ...
متن کاملDimensional and Flux Lattice Transitions in Artificially Layered Superconductors
Artificially layered materials are ideal model systems to tune the dimensionality of the superconducting order as well as the structure of the flux line lattice. Our extensive studies of Pb/Ge multilayers indicate that the anisotropy of the upper critical field H,, strongly depends on the Ge separator thickness d,, . The dimensional crossover from D = 3 towards D = 2, which is revealed by an up...
