We present the results of a scaling analysis of isothermal magnetization M(H) curves measured in the mixed state of high-Tc superconductors in the vicinity of the established first order phase transition. The most surprising result of our analysis is that the difference between the magnetization above and below the transition may have either sign, depending on the particular chosen sample. We argue that this observation, based on M(H) data available in the literature, is inconsistent with the interpretation that the well known first order phase transition in the mixed state of high-Tc superconductors always represents the melting transition in the vortex system.

We apply a recently developed scaling procedure to the analysis of equilibrium magnetization M(H) data that were obtained for T-2212 and Bi-2212single crystals and were reported in the literature. The temperature dependencies of the upper critical fi
eld and the magnetic field penetration depth resulting from our analysis are distinctly different from those obtained in the original publications. We argue that theoretical models, which are usually employed for analyses of the equilibrium magnetization in the mixed state of type-II superconductors are not adequate for a quantitative description of high-Tc superconductors. In addition, we demonstrate that the scaled equilibrium magnetization M(H) curve for a Tl-2212 sample reveals a pronounced kink, suggesting a phase transition in the mixed state.
In this work we revisit the vortex matter phase diagram in layered superconductors solving still open questions by means of AC and DC local magnetic measurements in the paradigmatic Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8}$ compound. We show that measuring w
ith AC magnetic techniques is mandatory in order to probe the bulk response of vortex matter, particularly at high-temperatures where surface barriers for vortex entrance dominate. From the $T_{rm FOT}$-evolution of the enthalpy and latent-heat at the transition we find that, contrary to previous reports, the nature of the dominant interlayer coupling is electromagnetic in the whole temperature range. By studying the dynamic properties of the phase located at $T gtrsim T_{rm FOT}$, we reveal the spanning in a considerable fraction of the phase diagram of a non-linear vortex phase suggesting bulk pinning might play a role even in the liquid vortex phase.
We discuss the analysis of mixed-state magnetization data of type-II superconductors using a recently developed scaling procedure. It is based on the fact that, if the Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappa does not depend on temperature, the magnetic susce
ptibility is a universal function of H/H_c2(T), leading to a simple relation between magnetizations at different temperatures. Although this scaling procedure does not provide absolute values of the upper critical fieldH_c2(T), its temperature variation can be established rather accurately. This provides an opportunity to validate theoretical models that are usually employed for the evaluation of H_c2(T) from equilibrium magnetization data. In the second part of the paper we apply this scaling procedure for a discussion of the notorious first order phase transition in the mixed state of high temperature superconductors. Our analysis, based on experimental magnetization data available in the literature, shows that the shift of the magnetization accross the transition may adopt either sign, depending on the particular chosen sample. We argue that this observation is inconsistent with the interpretation that this transition always represents the melting transition of the vortex lattice.
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 i
n-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.
HTS show many puzzling anomalies in their normal state properties. Among them are: - the presence of a peak in the c-axis resistance and its growth in external magnetic field - the anomalous negative magnetoresistance observed above Tc - the de
viation from the Korringa law in the temperature dependence of the NMR relaxation rate - the opening of a large pseudo-gap in the c-axis optical conductivity well above Tc - the gap-like tunneling anomalies observed above Tc - the anomalies in the thermoelectric power above Tc We show how all these effects can be explained by the enhanced role played in quasi-2D systems by the fluctuation decrease of the one-electron density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level, and its competition with other fluctuation contributions (AL, MT). The full fluctuation theory in HTS is reviewed and its resuls compared with experimental data.
