Phase diagram of vortex matter of type-II superconductors

Phase diagram of vortex matter of type-II superconductors
Phase diagram of vortex matter of type-II superconductors
We propose a model to construct the phase diagram for type-II superconductors through molecular-dynamics simulation. In this model, the Abrikosov vortices interact with long-range repulsion and short-range attraction. We are able to obtain the phase diagrams consisting of the vortex lattice, the intermediate-mixed phase (IMP), and the disordered vortex phase in the B-T, B-?, and B-q planes, where B is induction, ? is the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, and q is the relative strength of the attraction to repulsion interactions between vortices. The IMP is in the form of a superlattice of either vortex bubbles or parallel vortex stripes, agreeing excellently with experimental results that have not yet been explained by existing models.

Abstract

We propose a model to construct the phase diagram for type-II superconductors through molecular-dynamics simulation. In this model, the Abrikosov vortices interact with long-range repulsion and short-range attraction. We are able to obtain the phase diagrams consisting of the vortex lattice, the intermediate-mixed phase (IMP), and the disordered vortex phase in the B-T, B-?, and B-q planes, where B is induction, ? is the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, and q is the relative strength of the attraction to repulsion interactions between vortices. The IMP is in the form of a superlattice of either vortex bubbles or parallel vortex stripes, agreeing excellently with experimental results that have not yet been explained by existing models.
