Sharp increase of pinning force was observed at the 3D-2D phase transition in strongly anisotropic high temperature superconductors of the BiPbSrCaCuO system.
We report the direct imaging of a novel modulated flux striped domain phase in a nearly twin-free YBCO crystal. These domains arise from instabilities in the vortex structure within a narrow region of tilted magnetic fields at small angles from the in-plane direction. By comparing the experimental and theoretically derived vortex phase diagrams we infer that the stripe domains emerge from a first order phase transition of the vortex structure. The size of domains containing vortices of certain orientations is controlled by the balance between the vortex stray field energy and the positive energy of the domain boundaries. Our results confirm the existence of the kinked vortex chain phase in an anisotropic high temperature superconductor and reveal a sharp transition in the state of this phase resulting in regular vortex domains.
Effect of oscillations of the vibration amplitude of cylindrical sample suspended by a thin elastic thread and vibrating in a transverse magnetic field and containing 2D quasi-two-dimensional vortices (pancakes), was observed in the strongly anisotropic high-$T_{c}$ superconductor of $Bi_{1.7}Pb_{0.3}Sr_{2}Ca_{2}Cu_{3}O_{y}$ system.
A simple mechanical method for the investigation of Abrikosov vortex lattice stimulated dynamics in superconductors has been used. By this method we studied the action of pulsed magnetic fields on the vortex lattice and established the resulting change of the course of relaxation processes in the vortex matter in high-temperature superconductors. This method can be used for investigation of phase transitions in vortex matter both high-temperature and exotic superconductors.
Using the high-sensitive mechanical method of measuring the dissipation processes in superconductors, the 3D-2D phase transition in magnetic field was investigated in the vortex lattice of strongly anisotropic high-temperature superconductors of Bi(2223) system. It was shown that with the increase of external magnetic field the dissipation connected with a motion of vortexes relative to the crystal lattice of a sample, first increases, reaching the maximum and then with a further increase of the magnetic field sharply reduces as a result of pinning enhancement in connection with the transition of three-dimensional vortex system in quasi-two-dimensional pancake one.
It is used the mechanical method of Abrikosov vortex stimulated dynamics investigation in superconductors. With its help it was studied relaxation phenomena in vortex matter of high-temperature superconductors. It established that pulsed magnetic fields change the course of relaxation processes taking place in vortex matter. The study of the influence of magnetic pulses differing by their durations and amplitudes on vortex system of strongly anisotropic high-temperature superconductors system Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2Cu3O10-d showed the presence of threshold phenomena. The small duration pulses do not change the course of relaxation processes taking place in vortex matter. When the duration of pulses exceeds some critical value (threshold), then their influence change the course of relaxation process which is revealed by stepwise change of relaxing mechanical moment.. These investigation showed that the time for formatting of Abrikosov vortex lattice in Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2Cu3O10-d is of the order of 150 us which on the order of value exceeds the time necessary for formation of a single vortex observed in isotropic high-temperature superconductor HoBa2Cu3O7-d and on two orders exceeds the creation time of a single vortex observed in classical type II superconductors.
