Nonequilibrium phase transitions of vortex matter in three-dimensional layered superconductors.

چکیده
Large-scale simulations on the three-dimensional (3D) frustrated anisotropic XY model have been performed to study the nonequilibrium phase transitions of vortex matter in weak random pinning potential in layered superconductors. The first-order phase transition from the moving Bragg glass to the moving smectic is clarified, based on thermodynamic quantities. A washboard noise is observed in the moving Bragg glass in 3D simulations for the first time. It is found that the activation of the vortex loops plays the dominant role in the dynamical melting at high drive.

Phase transitions and vortex-line entanglement in a model high-temperature superconductor.
We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the uniformly frustrated three dimensional XY model, as a model for vortex line fluctuations in high temperature superconductors in an applied magnetic field. We show, comparing systems of different size, that there are two distinct phase transitions. At a lower Tc⊥, the vortex lattice melts, and coherence is lost in planes perpendicular to the magnetic f...
متن کاملSublimated Decoupling of the Vortex Lattice in Extreme Type-ii Layered Superconductors
The question of whether layer decoupling and vortex-lattice melting occur seperately or not in the mixed phase of extremely type-II layered superconductors is studied through a partial duality analysis of the layered XY model with uniform frustration. We find that both transitions occur simultaneously if a sufficient degree of both layer anisotropy and of substrate pinning exists. PACS Indices:...

متن کاملDegradation of phase coherence by defects in a two-dimensional vortex lattice.
The thermodynamic nature of two-dimensional vortex matter is studied through a duality analysis of the XY model over the square lattice with low uniform frustration. A phase-coherent vortex lattice state is found at low temperature if rigid translations are prohibited. It shows a nonzero phase rigidity that is degraded exclusively by the creation of dislocation pairs. The unbinding of such pair...
متن کامل0 Vortex Matter and its Phase Transitions
The mixed state of type II superconductors has magnetic flux penetrating the sample in the form of vortices, with each vortex carrying an identical quantum of flux. These vortices generally form a triangular lattice under weak mutually repulsive forces; the lattice spacing can be easily varied over many orders of magnitude by varying the external magnetic field. The elastic moduli of this latti...
