We study the magnetic response of a superconducting double strip, i.e., two parallel coplanar thin strips of width $2w$, thickness $d \ll w$ and of infinite length, separated by a gap of width $2s$ and subject to a perpendicular magnetic field $H$. The magnetic properties of this system are governed by the presence of a geometric energy barrier for vortex penetration which we investigate as a function of applied field $H$ and gap parameter $s$. The new results deal with the case of a narrow gap $s \ll w$, where the field penetration from the inner edges is facilitated by large flux focusing. Upon reducing the gap width $2s$, we observe a considerable rearrangement of the screening currents, leading to a strong reduction of the penetration field and the overall magnetization loop, with a suppression factor reaching $\sim (d/w)^{1/2}$ as the gap drops below the sample thickness, $2s < d$. We compare our results with similar systems of different shapes (elliptic, rectangular platelet) and include effects of surface barriers as well. Furthermore, we verify that corrections arising from the magnetic response of the Shubnikov phase in the penetrated state are small and can be omitted. Extending the analysis to multiple strips, we determine the specific sequence of flux penetrations into the different strips. Our studies are relevant for the understanding of platelet shaped samples with cracks or the penetration into layered superconductors at oblique magnetic fields.
Competition between orthorhombic and re-entrant tetragonal phases in underdoped Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ probed by the response to controlled disorder
利用2.5 MeV电子低温辐照研究了空穴掺杂Ba $_{1-x}$ K $_x$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$中存在于$x=$ 0.25附近的条状${\rm C_2}$和四元${\rm C_4}$反铁磁相之间的竞争.在该范围之外的附近成分中，在$x=$ 0.22和$x=$ 0.19处，伴随的正交/条纹反铁磁转变$T_{\rm C2}$和超导转变$T_{\rm c}$的温度都被添加的无序以约0.1 K/ $μΩ$ cm的类似速率单调抑制，如通过使用电阻率变化作为散射速率的本征测量所揭示的。与此形成鲜明对比的是，在$x=$ 0.25时发现在速率为0.24 K/ $μΩ\cdot$ cm时对${\rm C_4}$相的快速抑制。此外，${\rm C_4}$相的这种抑制伴随着${\rm C_2}$相的不寻常的无序诱导的稳定化，这通过电阻率和比热测量来确定。${\rm C_4}$相的抑制率明显高于Ni掺杂的CaKFe $_4$ As $_4$中自旋涡旋相的抑制率（0.16 K/ $μΩ$ cm）。

本文计算了在超导薄带中施加交流电流时交流磁场的分布。考虑了带材边缘对焊剂穿透和退出的阻挡作用。所得到的公式为从实测交流磁场中提取超导体本体和边缘的伏安特性提供了依据。基于这些结果，我们解释了在Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2 O_8带材中测量的交流磁场分布的空间和温度依赖性[D. T. Fuchs等人，Nature 91，373（1998）]。
