Dimensional Crossover of Vortex Dynamics Induced by Gd Substitution on Bi 2212 Single Crystals ⋆
The vortex dynamics of Bi2Sr2Ca1−xGdxCu2O8+δ single crystals is investigated by magnetic relaxation and hysteresis measurements. By substituting Ca with Gd, it is found that the interlayer Josephson coupling is weakened and the anisotropy is increased, which leads to the change of vortex dynamics from 3D elastic to 2D plastic vortex creep. Moreover, the second magnetization peak, which can be o...
متن کاملCrossover from elastic to plastic vortex creep across the second magnetization peak of high-temperature superconductors
We investigated the relaxation of the irreversible magnetization of YBa2Cu3O72d , Pb2Sr2Y0.53Ca0.47Cu3O8, and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O81d single crystals with significant quenched disorder in the region of the second magnetization peak. It was found that for an applied magnetic field between the onset field and the peak field the relevant current-density dependence of the activation energy exhibits a sudde...
متن کاملCurrent-driven vortex dynamics in untwinned YBa2Cu3O7 superconducting single crystals
Current-driven vortex dynamics of type-II superconductors in the weak-pinning limit is investigated by quantitatively studying the current-dependent vortex dissipation of an untwinned YBa2Cu3O7 single crystal. For applied current densities (J ) substantially larger than the critical current density (Jc), non-linear resistive peaks appear below the thermodynamic firstorder vortex-lattice melting...
متن کاملHistory effects and pinning regimes in solid vortex matter
We propose a phenomenological model that accounts for the history effects observed in ac susceptibility measurements in YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals @Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4200 ~2000! and Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 504 ~2001!#. Central to the model is the assumption that the penetrating ac magnetic field modifies the vortex lattice mobility, trapping different robust dynamical states in different regions...

Twinning is one of the main mechanisms of plastic deformation in crystals and its effect on the empirical properties has been important in materials science. Twin boundaries have been proved to be effective flux pinning centers in YBCO that increasing the critical current density. High-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) nanoparticles were prepared by solid state alloying method. The ...
