Dynamic and Thermodynamic Properties of Porous Vortex Matter inBi2Sr2CaCu2O8in an Oblique Magnetic Field

Abstract: Vortex matter in Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8) with a low concentration of tilted columnar defects (CDs) was studied using magneto-optical measurements and molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that while the dynamic properties are significantly affected by tilting the magnetic field away from the CDs, the thermodynamic transitions are angle independent. The simulations indicate that vortex pancakes remain localized on the CDs even at large tilting angles. This preserves the vortex thermodynamics, while vortex p… Show more

“…The results indicated that such changes were perceived only for magnetic fields applied to angles higher than 40 • . In addition to this, we also argue that recent magneto-optical measurements and molecular dynamics simulations in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 with columnar defects give support to our estimates of c L [34]. It was found that the dynamics properties of porous vortex matter are very sensitive to the angle between the applied magnetic field and the columnar defects.…”

“…This can be expected from the same theory [21] assuming that the main pinning site in n-films is dislocation cores or twin planes. Therefore, the thing we need to explain is why is so much lower than for the BZO-doped samples.…”

“…According to the theory [21] above the matching field the vortices in between the pinning sites form a porous vortex solid at low temperatures, which at high temperature melts to a nanoliquid phase where the vortices are weakly pinned between the columnar pinning sites. This melting changes the angular dependency of to more isotropic, i.e.…”

“…The temperature at which the inhomogeneous VL (called "vortex nanoliquid" in Ref. 14) crosses over to the depinned, homogeneous liquid was also found to be independent of θ for a fixed value of H z . The simulations were performed for a fixed number density of pancake vortices on the layers (fixed B z ) and different orientations of the columnar pins, keeping the number density of pinning centers on each layer fixed at a value lower than that of pancake vortices.…”

“…The behavior of vortex systems with tilted columnar pinning and B > B φ (c < 1) has been investigated recently in experiments 14 and simulations 14,15 . The experiments were performed on a sample of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 (BSCCO) with a small concentration of random columnar pins tilted at an angle of 45…”
