Magnetic field of an in-plane vortex outside a layered superconductor
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the solution to London’s equations for the magnetic fields of a vortex oriented parallel to the planes, and normal to a crystal face, of a layered superconductor. These expressions account for flux spreading at the superconducting surface, which can change the apparent size of the vortex along the planes by as much as 30%. We compare these expressions with experimental results.

Observation of Vortex Coalescence, Vortex Chains and Crossing Vortices in the Anisotropic Spin-Triplet Superconductor Sr2RuO4
Scanning μSQUID force microscopy is used to study magnetic flux structures in single crystals of the layered spin triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4. Images of the magnetic flux configuration above the ~a~b-face of the cleaved crystal are acquired, mostly after field-cooling the sample. For low applied magnetic fields, individual vortices are observed, each carrying a single quantum of flux. Above ...
متن کاملMagnetization Relaxation in Layered Superconductors
The energy of a pointlike vortex is calculated for a layered superconductor with very weak interlayer Josephson coupling. An energy barrier existing near the sample surface is found. Magnetization relaxation due to thermally activated penetration of pointlike vortices and quantum tunnelling of pointlike vortices are considered. An initial avalanche-type decay of magnetization is predicted. Magn...

We present evidence for entangled solid vortex matter in a glassy state in a layered superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y containing randomly splayed linear defects. The interlayer phase coherence--probed by the Josephson plasma resonance--is enhanced at high temperatures, reflecting the recoupling of vortex liquid by the defects. At low temperatures in the vortex solid state, the interlayer coherenc...
متن کاملWork supported in part by US Department of Energy contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. Magnetic-force-microscope study of interlayer “kinks” in individual vortices in underdoped cuprate YBa2Cu3O6+x superconductor
We use magnetic force microscopy to both image and manipulate individual vortex lines threading single crystalline YBa2Cu3O6.4, a layered superconductor. We find that when we pull the top of a pinned vortex, it may not tilt smoothly. Sometimes, we observe a vortex to break into discrete segments that can be described as short stacks of pancake vortices, similar to the “kinked” structure propose...
متن کاملEnergy of Magnetic Vortices in Rotating Superconductor
Abstract. We carry out a systematic analytic investigation of stationary and cylindrically symmetric vortex configurations for simple models representing an incompressible non-relativistic superconductor in a background, which is rigidly rotating with the angular velocity Ω∞. It is shown that although the magnetic and kinetic contributions to the energy per unit length of such a vortex are sepa...
