This type of collective vortex motion in a random potential is manifested by channeling of the vortex flow along preferred paths which are stable in time. We present direct experimental observations of such vortex flow ``channels'' obtained with magnetic decoration experiments on NbSe2 single crystals.

Research paper thumbnail of Critical current in YBCO thin film bridge studied using magneto-optic technique

Journal of Superconductivity, 1993

After switching off the current from the maximum value that provides the electrically detected critical regime, the expected remanent flux was not observed. The only place where the irreversible magnetization takes place is a linear defect that crosses the bridge and thus reduces the electrically measured critical current compared with the value that could be reached without macroscopic defects. The observed reversibility of the main part of the sample is explained on the basis of theoretical calculations of the current-induced flux penetration: Perceptible penetration and trapping of the flux might be observed only upon the application of a current higher than approximately half the maximum critical current that could be reached in such a thin film without macroscopic inhomogeneities.

Research paper thumbnail of Polarization-optical contrast and twin domain structure of single crystals of high temperature superconductors

The contrast features due to the presence of narrow (thinner than the light wavelength) twin domains are studied with a transmission electron microscope. Phaseshift values are obtained which indicate a strong anisotropy of the optical conductivity with a preferred direction along the CuO chain.

This has permitted us to extract the current-voltage characteristic, which can be well described by a power-law, although fits to a stretched exponential E \sim \exp(- j_{c} / j)^{\mu} with 0.3 < \mu < 0.8 are possible at long times

The present RRT made the following guideline clear for assessing the mechanical property of Ag/Bi2223 multifilamentary tapes. Owing to the constitution of the brittle superconductive oxide layer embedded in the ductile metal matrix, the stress-percentage extension (R-A) curve shows a three-stage behaviour, that is, the true elastic region is very narrow and is followed by the quasi-elastic region before reaching the macroscopic plastic region. For assessing the elastic constant, it is recommended to look for the maximum slope carefully by enlarging the initial part of the R-A curve. The following three quantities, elastic constant, yield strength and tensile strength, can be reasonably determined with good accuracy by the procedure reported in this paper. The percentage extension after fracture is, however, excluded from the standard procedure, because it scatters to a great extent owing to the nature of the test sample as well as the experimental limitation.

It is shown that only the light component with polarization along Cu-O chains in the (001) basis plane experiences phase delay during reflection. This finding supports the existence of one-dimensional conductivity in rare-earth cuprates.
