高温超导体磁通动力学和混合态相图(Ⅰ)

文章简要介绍了高温超导体磁通动力学和混合态物理在过去十余年的发展。高温超导体由于其自身的一些特点，使得它与常规超导体相比较拥有极其丰富的相图，磁通动力学也表现出了非常丰富的研究内容，很多新的概念被提出，新的现象被观察到。比如说涡旋玻璃态，集体钉扎和蠕动，磁通格子的一级和二级熔化相变，布拉格玻璃，峰值效应，二维涡旋饼态，Josephson磁通运动等等，均是在高温超导体发现之后提出来的新的概念或新发现的现象。有些研究结果目前尚无定论，如关于涡旋玻璃态存在与否的争论至今仍然在进行，但是这些研究内容无疑会大大促进超导物理的发展。高温超导体磁通动力学纷繁复杂的研究内容可以归结为三个相互关联的数字：Ginzburg数（T/He^2εξ^3）^2／2，量子电阻Qu=（e^2／h）（ρn/／εξ），和临界电流的比值jc/jo,这里ξ是相干长度，Hc是热力学临界磁场，ε是有效质量的各向异性度,ρn是正常态电阻率，jc是零温临界电流，jo是拆对临界电流。对于高温超导体前两个数值（Ginzburg数和量子电阻）很大，而临界电流比值较小，因此导致有强的热涨落和量子涨落，以及很强的磁通运动行为（对应小的实测临界电流）。磁通动力学的研究从更深层次影响超导体的临界电流问题和强电应用的发展，最后简要地介绍了这方面的情况。     

从FeSe_(0.5)Te_(0.5)的V～I曲线论磁通动力学的诸模型(英文)

高温超导体的发现动摇了支配磁通动力学二十几年的Kim-Anderson模型.于是人们提出了新的涡旋玻璃态模型,集体钉扎模型和U～j对数关系模型来描述高温超导体的磁通动力学.其中,涡旋玻璃态模型已被人们广泛接受.Fe基超导体发现后,人们它行为十分类似于高温超导体.我们实验上仔细研究了FeSe0.5Te0.5单晶的V～I关系曲线,发现上述诸模型均不能很好的解释我们的实验结果,而张的反跳模型恰能很好的拟合实验结果.本文讨论了诸模型对高温超导体磁通动力学描述的适用性并给出合理的解释.

临界电流密度Jc是影响高温超导体在强电领域应用的一个重要参数,在实际应用中,特别在外加磁场下,临界电流密度与超导材料的磁通钉扎性质密切相关.因此,磁通钉扎一直是高温超导体研究中的一个重要领域.由于高温超导体磁通钉扎力密度Fp的标度律存在,本文根据D.Dew-Hughes总结的钉扎力函数,主要存在两种主要作用类型(正常相和△K).我们将D.Dew-HugBes给出的钉扎力密度Fp标度函数改进为一个简化的具有物理意义的函数表达式.结合文献中已有的实验数据,我们对YBcO进行了计算机模拟,确定了它的磁通钉扎类型,模拟的研究结果与实际情况比较吻合.

磁通钉扎效应浅释

第二类超导体中,晶体缺陷与磁通线之间的相互作用力能阻滞磁通线的自由运动,叫做对磁通线的钉扎力.晶体缺陷叫做钉扎中心,简称钉点.每个钉点的钉扎力叫元钉扎力(f).单位体积中所有f的矢量和叫宏观钉扎力密度,简称宏观钉扎力(F).设单位体积中元钉扎力为fi的钉点有ni个,则　　　　.由于fi及F的存在而导致的一切宏观不可逆性质,如临界电流,磁滞现象,交流损耗等等都是“钉扎效应”的表现.对钉扎效应的理解包括元钉扎力f的产生及它们与宏观钉扎力F的关系.在对所有fi求和而得到F的问题中又与磁通线阵的性质有关.所以影响第二类超导体中宏观钉扎…     

无序超导体磁通运动的两次退钉扎效应和重新进入超导相

考虑平面内和不同平面磁通之间的相互作用力，计算了无序各向异性超导体中磁通运动的平均速度、微分电阻随驱动力F_l的变化规律，用层间关联函数C_z的值来判断2D塑性流动和3D关联流动的运动图像.观察到随着外驱动力的增大微分电阻出现两个尖峰，它对应着磁通运动存在两次退钉扎现象.在一定层间耦合条件下，在微分电阻双峰之间，可观察到重新进入微分电阻为零的钉扎相.这与最近实验上新发现的无序弱钉扎超导体有重新进入超导相的巨大峰值效应相吻合.同时，也可发现随着驱动电流的增大，磁通运动出现由2D塑性流动到3D弹性流动的相变，这一维度的变化对应着微分电阻dV/dI曲线中的二次峰位置. 并证明当层间耦合(即代表磁场的大小)在一定范围时，3D-2D相变对应的临界电流随磁场的增大而增大, 反映了第二磁化峰附近的磁通格子软硬度改变的微观图像. 关键词： 第Ⅱ类超导体 磁通线格子 钉扎 峰值效应     

磁通格子的有序-无序相变和反向熔化

考虑了无序钉扎、热涨落和磁通互作用, 用Monte Carlo分子动力学模拟方法研究二维磁通格子在无序钉扎强度和温度空间的相图, 以及由布拉格玻璃相到非晶磁通玻璃相和到磁通液体相的有序-无序相变.为了决定磁通格子的序，计算了静态结构因子和磁通格子位形的有限尺寸指数.计算结果表明，Bragg玻璃相在低温的无序磁通玻璃相和高温的磁通液体相之间 , 表现出磁通格子的反向熔化行为.分析后认为，这一反向熔化行为起因于磁通之间互作用的温度效应. 关键词： Ⅱ类超导体 磁通格子 相图 结构因子 反向熔化

Critical Scaling of Extended Power Law I - V Isotherms near Vortex Glass Transition

In view of the question about the vortex glass theory of the freezing of disordered vortex matter raised by recent experimental observations, we reinvestigate the critical scaling of high Tc superconductors. It is found that the dc current-voltage characteristic of mixed state superconductors has a general form of extended power law which is based on the Ginzburg-Landau （GL） functional in the similar way as the vortex glass theory. Isotherms simulated from this nonlinear equation fit the experimental I- V data of Strachan et al. [Phys. Rev. Left. 87（2001） 067007]. The puzzling question of the derivative plot for the I - V curves and the controversy surrounding the values of critical exponents are discussed.     

Critical currents at the bragg glass to vortex glass transition

We present simulations of the transport properties of superconductors at the transition from the Bragg glass (BG) to the vortex glass (VG) phase. We study the frustrated anisotropic 3D XY model with point disorder, which has been shown to have a first-order transition as a function of the intensity of disorder. We add an external current to the model, and we obtain current-voltage curves as a function of disorder at a low temperature. We find that the in-plane critical current has a steep increase at the BG-VG transition, while the c-axis critical current has a discontinuous jump down, this later result in agreement with the first-order character of the transition.     

高温超导体中的赝隙与超导位相涨落

高温超导体赝隙态与超导态之间的关系一直是研究的焦点.交流电导和能斯特（Nernst）效应测量相继探测到超导转变温度Tc0以上温区一定范围内存在磁通涡旋激发,利用力矩技术的磁化率测量则探测到超导涨落引起的弱抗磁性.这些发现都支持了高温超导体赝隙相中存在有限的超导序参量振幅和强烈的位相涨落的图像,说明Tc0处的相变是由库珀对之间长程位相关联的消失所驱动的.文章首先简短地介绍高温超导体的电子态相图和赝隙态,以及能斯特效应的原理和测量方法,然后对能斯特效应的测量结果作一评述性介绍,还讨论了相关的理论模型.     

Why pinning by surface irregularities can explain the peak effect in transport properties and neutron diffraction results in NbSe2 and Bi- 2212 crystals?

The existence of a peak effect in transport properties (a maximum of the critical current as function of magnetic field) is a well-known but still intriguing feature of Type II superconductors such as NbSe₂ and Bi-2212. Using a model of pinning by surface irregularities in anisotropic superconductors, we have developed a calculation of the critical current which allows estimating quantitatively the critical current in both the high critical current phase and the low critical current phase. The only adjustable parameter of this model is the angle of the vortices at the surface. The agreement between the measurements and the model is really very impressive. In this framework, the anomalous dynamical properties close to the peak effect is due to coexistence of two different vortex states with different critical currents. Recent neutron diffraction data in NbSe₂ crystals in the presence of transport current support this point of view.     

Vortex glass transition in a random pinning model

We study the vortex glass transition in disordered high temperature superconductors using Monte Carlo simulations. We use a random pinning model with strong point-correlated quenched disorder, a net applied magnetic field, long-range vortex interactions, and periodic boundary conditions. From a finite size scaling study of the helicity modulus, the rms current, and the resistivity, we obtain critical exponents at the phase transition. The new exponents differ substantially from those of the gauge glass model, but are close to those of the pure three-dimensional XY model.     

Effect of pinning and driving force on the metastability effects in weakly pinned superconductors and the determination of spinodal line pertaining to order—disorder transition

We explore the effect of varying drive on metastability features exhibited by the vortex matter in single crystals of 2H-NbSe₂ and CeRu₂ with varying degree of random pinning. The metastable nature of vortex matter is reflected in the path dependence of the critical current density, which in turn is probed in a contact-less way via AC-susceptibility measurements. The sinusoidal AC magnetic field applied during AC susceptibility measurements appears to generate a driving force on the vortex matter. In a nascent pinned single crystal of 2H-NbSe₂, where the peak effect (PE) pertaining to the order—disorder phenomenon is a sharp first-order-like transition, the supercooling feature below the peak temperature is easily wiped out by the reorganization caused by the AC driving force. In this paper, we elucidate the interplay between the drive and the pinning which can conspire to make the path-dependent AC-susceptibility response of different metastable vortex states appear identical. An optimal balance between the pinning and driving force is needed to view the metastability effects in typically weakly pinned specimen of low temperature superconductors. As one uses samples with larger pinning in order to differentiate the response of different metastable vortex states, one encounters a new phenomenon, viz., the second magnetization peak (SMP) anomaly prior to the PE. Supercooling/superheating can occur across both the PE and the SMP anomalies and both of these are known to display non-linear characteristics as well. Interplay between the path dependence in the critical current density and the non-linearity in the electromagnetic response determine the metastability effects seen in the first and the third harmonic response of the AC susceptibility across the temperature regions of the SMP and the PE. The limiting temperature above which metastability effects cease can be conveniently located in the third harmonic data, and the observed behavior can be rationalized within the Bean’s critical state model. A vortex phase diagram showing different vortex phases for a typically weakly pinned specimen has been constructed via the AC susceptibility data in a crystal of 2H-NbSe₂ which shows the SMP and the PE anomalies. The phase space of coexisting weaker and stronger pinned regions has been identified. It can be bifurcated into two parts, where the order and disorder dominate, respectively. The former part continuously connects to the reentrant disordered vortex phase pertaining to the small bundle pinning regime, where the vortices are far apart, interaction effects are weak and the polycrystalline form of flux line lattice prevails.
