Vortex Phase Diagram of High-T c Superconductor YBa2Cu3O y in High Magnetic Fields

  • Chapter
Materials Science in Static High Magnetic Fields

Part of the book series: Advances in Materials Research ((ADVSMATERIALS,volume 4))

Abstract

In conventional type II superconductors, only an Abrikosov vortex-lattice is formed in the mixed state. On the other hand, in high-T c superconductors a rich variety of vortex phases, such as a vortex-lattice, a vortex-glass, a vortex-liquid and so on, have been proposed by many theoretical and experimental works. These novel vortex phases are believed to result from characteristic features of high-T c superconductors. Those are: the strong anisotropy which exceed 104 in mass ratio; the short coherence length (3 nm in the CuO2 plane); the large thermal agitation; and a large number of weak disorder pinning sites. This means that vortex phases in high-T c superconductors are determined by a delicate balance between the thermal energy, the vortex elastic energy and the vortex pinning energy.
