We report on the evolution with magnetic field and temperature of the vortex lattice (VL) in fully-oxygenated YBa2Cu3O7 as studied by time-of-flight small angle neutron scattering. Using the HFM/EXED beamline, we have obtained data up to 25.9 T - much higher than that available previously. Our VL structure results indicate the progressive suppression by field of the superconductivity along the crystallographic b (CuO chain) direction. The intensity of the diffracted signal reveals the spatial variation of magnetization caused by the VL (the "form factor"). Instead of a rapid fall-off with field, as seen in superconductors with smaller upper critical fields, we find that the form factor is almost constant with field above about 12 T. We speculate that this is due to Pauli paramagnetic moments, which increase at high fields due to alignment of the spins of quasiparticles in the vortex cores.

Current distribution across type II superconducting films: a new vortex-free critical state
迈斯纳态中载流矩形薄膜厚度上的电流分布是很久以前由伦敦兄弟建立的。宽度上的分布更复杂,但后来被证明是高度不均匀的,在边缘发散。因此,II型超导体的标准观点是涡旋从边缘进入,随着电流的增加,涡旋被向内驱动,直到它们在中心自我湮灭,导致耗散。假定该条件定义临界电流。然而,我们已经表明,在自场(无外场)下,输运临界电流是伦敦表面电流,其中表面电流密度等于临界场除以λ,跨越整个宽度。因此,临界电流分布必须是均匀的。在这里,我们报告的商业YBa 2Cu 3 O 7导体的电流和场分布的研究,并确认在低电流接受的非均匀分布,但表现出激进的交叉在临界电流的均匀分布。这种交叉在奇点处不连续地结束,并且计算详细地定量地证实了这些结果。出乎意料的是,自场耗散的开始是热力学性质的,并且隐含的无涡旋临界状态似乎需要新的物理学。
