Muon Spin Rotation and the Vortex Lattice in Superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
The magnetic field probability P (B) is calculated from Ginzburg-Landau theory for various lattices of vortex lines in type-II superconductors: Ideal triangular lattices, lattices with various shear strains and with a super lattice of vacancies, and lattices of short vortices in films whose magnetic field “mushrooms” near the surface.

Muon spin rotation studies of electronic excitations and magnetism in the vortex cores of superconductors
The focus of this article is on recent progress in muon spin rotation (μSR) studies of the vortex cores in type-II superconductors. By comparison of μSR measurements of the vortex-core size in a variety of materials with results from techniques that directly probe electronic states, the effect of delocalized quasiparticles on the spatial variation of field in a lattice of interacting vortices h...
متن کاملZero-field superfluid density in a d-wave superconductor evaluated from muon-spin-rotation experiments in the vortex state
We present an approach that allows the reconstruction of the zero-field magnetic penetration depth λ0 based on the results of muon-spin-rotation (μSR) experiments conducted in a superconductor in the vortex state. It was successfully applied to describe the μSR experiments in optimally doped (BiPb)2(SrLa)2CuO6+δ (OP Bi2201). We found that in unconventional d-wave superconductors (such as OP Bi2...
متن کاملSignatures of new d-wave vortex physics in overdoped Tl2Ba2CuO6+x revealed by TF-µ+SR
The spontaneous expulsion of applied magnetic field, the Meissner effect, is a defining feature of superconductors; in Type-II superconductors above the lower critical field, this screening takes the form of a lattice of magnetic flux vortices. Using implanted spin-1/2 positive muons, one can measure the vortex lattice field distribution through the spin precession and deduce key parameters of ...
متن کاملMuon-Spin Rotation Spectra in the Mixed Phase of High-Tc Superconductors : Thermal Fluctuations and Disorder Effects
We study muon-spin rotation (μSR) spectra in the mixed phase of highly anisotropic layered superconductors, specifically Bi2+xSr2−xCaCu2O8+δ (BSCCO), by modeling the fluid and solid phases of pancake vortices using liquid-state and density functional methods. The role of thermal fluctuations in causing motional narrowing of μSR lineshapes is quantified in terms of a first-principles theory of t...
متن کاملMuon-spin rotation measurements of an unusual vortex-glass phase in the layered superconductor Bi2.15Sr1.85CaCu2O8+δ.
Muon-spin rotation measurements, performed on the mixed state of the classic anisotropic superconductor Bi(2.15)Sr(1.85)CaCu(2)O(8+δ), obtain quantities directly related to two- and three-body correlations of vortices in space. A novel phase diagram emerges from such local probe measurements of the bulk, revealing an unusual glassy state at intermediate fields which appears to freeze continuous...
