Anomalous behavior of the irreversible magnetization and time relaxation in YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals with splayed tracks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied the angular dependence of the irreversible magnetization and its time relaxation in YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals with one or two families of columnar defects inclined with respect to the c axis. At high magnetic fields, the magnetization shows the usual maximum centered at the mean tracks’ orientation and an associated minimum in the normalized relaxation rate. In contrast, at low fields we observe an anomalous local minimum in the magnetization and a maximum in the relaxation rate. We present a model to explain this anomaly based on the slowing down of the creep processes arising from the increase of the vortex-vortex interactions as the applied field is tilted away from the mean tracks’ direction. @S0163-1829~99!11841-1#

Columnar defects acting as passive internal field detectors
We have studied the angular dependence of the irreversible magnetization of several YBa2Cu3O7 and 2H-NbSe2 single crystals with columnar defects tilted off the c axis. At high magnetic fields, the irreversible magnetization M i(Q) exhibits a well-known maximum when the applied field is parallel to the tracks. As the field is decreased below H;0.02Hc2, the peak shifts away from the tracks’ direc...
متن کاملAnisotropic scaling in YBa2Cu3O7 crystals with columnar defects
We explore the interplay between the mass anisotropy and the uniaxial pinning of tilted columnar defects (CD) in a YBa2Cu3O7 single crystal. At high temperatures T and fields H a sharp peak in the irreversible magnetization Mi at the direction of the tracks signals the presence of the CD. At low T such a peak is not observed, and the influence of the CD appears only as a perturbation to the ang...
متن کاملINTRINSIC GEOMETRICAL BOUNDARIES FOR THE CRITICAL CURRENTS INSIDE YBa2Cu3O7-x SINGLE CRYSTALS
Magnetization curves habe been measured on YBa2Cu307-, single crystals of various size, and compared with other results published in the literature. The irreversible magnetization does not follow the scaling law predicted by the Bean model. We conclude that even the superconducting crystals contain normal barriers or weak links which limit the spatial scale of supercurrents.
متن کاملUniversal vortex-state Hall conductivity of YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals with differing correlated disorder
The vortex-state Hall conductivity (σxy) of YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals in the anomalous-sign-reversal region is found to be independent of the density and orientation of the correlated disorder. After the anisotropic-to-isotropic scaling transformation is carried out, a universal scaled Hall conductivity σ̃xy is obtained as a function of the reduced temperature (T /Tc) and scaled magnetic field s...
متن کاملOrientation dependence of the anomalous Hall resistivity in single crystals of Yb14MnSb11
The Hall resistivity, electrical resistivity, and magnetization of single crystals of the tetragonal ferromagnet Yb14MnSb11 are reported as a function of the direction of the current I and magnetic field H with respect to the principal crystallographic axes. With I along the unique c direction and H in the a-b plane, the anomalous Hall resistivity in the limit of zero applied field is negative ...
