Force-free current-induced reentrant melting of the vortex lattice in superconductors
When increasing a current j flowing along the vortex lines, we obtain both a gradual shift of the vortexlattice melting transition ~VLMT! to a lower magnetic field and also a rising reentrant melting line, both separating the vortex solid from the vortex-liquid phase. The upper branch of the VLMT merges with the predicted reentrant lower branch at a certain value jmerge of the force-free curren...
متن کاملReentrant melting of two-dimensional colloidal systems
When a two-dimensional colloidal suspension of highly charged particles is subjected to a periodic one-dimensional (1D) light field, a liquid–solid transition can be induced. This phase transition is well known as light-induced freezing. However, upon further increase of the intensity, the crystal is found to remelt (laser-induced melting) to a 1D liquid. This reentrance behaviour is in good ag...
متن کاملReentrant peak effect and the melting of a flux line lattice in 2H-NbSe2.
A reentrant peak effect is observed through low field ac susceptibility measurements on the weakly pinned flux line lattice in single crystals of 2H-NbSe2. The resulting phase diagram of the peak effect is strikingly similar to the theoretically predicted reentrant phase boundary which separates flux lattice and flux liquid phases. The broadening and ultimate disappearance of the peak effect at...
متن کاملReentrant Melting of Soliton Lattice Phase in Bilayer Quantum Hall System
At large parallel magnetic field B‖, the ground state of bilayer quantum Hall system forms uniform soliton lattice phase. The soliton lattice will melt due to the proliferation of unbound dislocations at certain finite temperature leading to the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) melting. We calculate the KT phase boundary by numerically solving the newly developed set of Bethe ansatz equations, which fu...
متن کاملCrystallization and reentrant melting of charged colloids in nonpolar solvents.
We explore the crystallization of charged colloidal particles in a nonpolar solvent mixture. We simultaneously charge the particles and add counterions to the solution with aerosol-OT (AOT) reverse micelles. At low AOT concentrations, the charged particles crystallize into body-centered-cubic (bcc) or face-centered-cubic (fcc) Wigner crystals; at high AOT concentrations, the increased screening...
