摘要:

在这里,我们提出了一些惊人的差异,在低Tc超导体,Yb 3Rh 4Sn 13单晶的交流和直流磁化测量的结果。从一个有序的旋涡晶格布拉格玻璃(BG)相的过渡到一个部分无序的旋涡玻璃(VG)相的指纹得到出土的影响下,交流驱动力的影响下,不可避免地存在于等温交流磁化率测量。与其众所周知的改善涡旋物质中的空间秩序状态的效果相反,令人惊讶地发现,交流驱动器通过帮助BG到VG的转变在该化合物中以较低的场值发生来促进无序。另一方面,等温直流磁化(M-H)扫描,没有这样的驱动力,没有揭示这种转变;他们反而产生另一个有序无序转变的签名在升高的领域,即,峰值效应(PE),基本上位于上述BG VG过渡中观察到的等温交流磁化率测量。此外,在等场交流磁化率图中观察到的PE特征随着场的增加而演变,表明在一定场H*(~ 4 kOe)以上从无序相出现有序涡旋构型(BG)。低于H*,通过场冷却(FC)创建的涡旋物质被发现是更好的空间有序比零场冷却(ZFC)模式制备。这与高场有序-无序转变(PE)附近预期的通常行为相反,其中FC状态被认为是过冷无序相,而ZFC状态相对更有序。

英文摘要:

We present here some striking discrepancies in the results of ac and dc magnetization measurements performed in a single crystal of low Tc superconductor, Yb3Rh4Sn13. Fingerprint of a transition from an ordered vortex lattice a la Bragg glass (BG) phase to a partially-disordered vortex glass (VG) like phase gets unearthed under the influence of an ac driving force present inevitably in the isothermal ac susceptibility measurements. In contrast to its well-known effect of improving the state of spatial order in the vortex matter, the ac drive is surprisingly found to promote disorder by assisting the BG to VG transition to occur at a lower field value in this compound. On the other hand, the isothermal dc magnetization (M-H) scans, devoid of such a driving force, do not reveal this transition; they instead yield signature of another order-disorder transition at elevated fields, viz., peak effect (PE), located substantially above the BG to VG transition observed in the isothermal ac susceptibility measurements. Further, the evolution of PE feature with increasing field as observed in isofield ac susceptibility plots indicates emergence of an ordered vortex configuration (BG) from a disordered phase above a certain field, H* (~ 4 kOe). Below H*, the vortex matter created via field-cooling (FC) is found to be better spatially ordered than that prepared in zero field-cooled (ZFC) mode. This is contrary to the usual behavior anticipated near the high-field order-disorder transition (PE) wherein a FC state is supposed to be a supercooled disordered phase and the ZFC state is comparatively better ordered.
