Peak effect in the vortex state of V3Si: a study of history dependence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results of transport properties measurement on a single crystal of V3Si showing distinct signature of peak-effect in its vortex state. The field variation of the electrical resistance in the flux-line lattice prepared by different experimental path, namely zero field cooling (ZFC) and field cooling (FC), shows a distinct path dependence in the vicinity of the peak-effect regime. In the field cooled state, small cycling of magnetic field modifies the resistance drastically around the peak-effect regime, highlighting the metastable nature of that state in the concerned regime.

History dependence of peak effect in CeRu2 and V3Si: an analogy with the random field Ising systems
We present results of transport measurements showing distinct path dependence of the electrical resistance in the superconducting vortex state of single crystal samples of CeRu2 and V3Si. Resistance measured in the vortex state of both the systems prepared by field cooling (FC), indicates a relatively higher degree of disorder than when it is prepared by isothermal variation of field. Small osc...
متن کاملDynamics of metastable vortex states in weakly pinned superconductors: A phenomenological model
We present a phenomenological model for the vortex dynamics in the peak effect region of weakly pinned superconductors. We explain the history dependent dynamic response of the metastable vortex states subjected to a transport current and the hysteretic voltage-current characteristics observed in the vicinity of peak effect in weakly pinned superconductors. A strong variation in voltage current...
متن کاملPeak Effect in Ca3Rh4Sn13 : Vortex Phase Diagram and Evidences for Stepwise Amorphization of Flux Line Lattice
The Peak Effect (PE) regime in a single crystal of Ca3Rh4Sn13 has been investigated in detail via ac susceptibility as well as dc magnetization measurements. The PE region comprises two discontinuous first order like transitions, located near its onset and peak positions and reflects a stepwise fracturing of the flux line lattice (FLL). This scenario can be construed as an alternative to a sche...
متن کاملEffect of Fatigue on Ground Reaction Force Variables During Single-leg Landing in Athletes With the History of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Introduction: Since people experience fatigue after anterior cruciate ligament injury during exercises, it is important to understand how fatigue affects the biomechanical movement patterns. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of fatigue on ground reaction force variables during single-leg landing in athletes with a history of an anterior cruciate ligament spr...
متن کاملQuantitative investigation of the de Haas-van Alphen effect in the superconducting state
The de Haas-van Alphen effect in the vortex state of the type-II superconductors 2H-NbSe2 and V3Si is studied. We discuss the experimental and theoretical considerations pertaining to the observation of such oscillations. Macroscopic pinning of the flux lattice cannot explain the observed attenuation of quantum oscillations in the mixed state. A critical comparison of our measurements with the ...
