Vortex glass transition in a frustrated 3D XY model with disorder.
نویسنده
چکیده
The anisotropic frustrated three-dimensional (3D) XY model with disorder in the coupling constants is simulated as a model of a point disordered superconductor in an applied magnetic field. A finite size scaling analysis of the helicity modulus gives strong evidence for a finite temperature transition with isotropic scaling and the correlation length exponent nu=1.5+/-0.3, consistent with 3D gauge glass universality.

Nonequilibrium phase transitions of vortex matter in three-dimensional layered superconductors.
Large-scale simulations on the three-dimensional (3D) frustrated anisotropic XY model have been performed to study the nonequilibrium phase transitions of vortex matter in weak random pinning potential in layered superconductors. The first-order phase transition from the moving Bragg glass to the moving smectic is clarified, based on thermodynamic quantities. A washboard noise is observed in th...
متن کاملVortex glass transitions in disordered three-dimensional XY models: Simulations for several different sets of parameters
The anisotropic frustrated three-dimensional 3D XY model with strong disorder in the coupling constants is studied as a model of a disordered superconductor in an applied magnetic field. Simulations with the exchange Monte Carlo method are performed for frustrations f =1/5 and f =1/4, corresponding to two different values of the magnetic field along the z direction. The anisotropy is also varie...
متن کاملVortex dynamics in high-Tc superconductors with sparse weak columnar defects
We have performed large-scale dynamical simulations on the current-driven three-dimensional frustrated anisotropic XY model with sparse weak columnar defects. Below the matching field, a moving Bose glass phase with superconducting coherence but without spatial order is observed at low temperatures. For very small columnar defect concentrations, a moving Bragg glass phase with both superconduct...
متن کاملMagnetization Jump in a Model for Flux Lattice Melting at Low Magnetic Fields
Using a frustrated XY model on a lattice with open-boundary conditions, we numerically study the magnetization change near a flux lattice melting transition at low fields. In both two and three dimensions, we find that the melting transition is followed at a higher temperature by the onset of large dissipation associated with the zero-field XY transition. It is characterized by the proliferatio...
متن کاملNumerical study of random superconductors
The XY model with quenched random disorder is studied numerically at T 1⁄4 0 by a defect scaling method as a model of a disordered superconductor. In 3D we find that, in the absence of screening, a vortex glass phase exists at low T for large disorder in 3D with stiffness exponent h þ0:31 and with finite screening and in 2D this phase does not exist. For weak disorder, a superconducting phase e...
