Irreversibility, mechanical entanglement and thermal melting in superconducting vortex crystals with point impurities

Abstract

Abstract We discuss the onset of irreversibility and entanglement of vortex lines in high T c superconductors due to point disorder and thermal fluctuations using a simplified cage model. A combination of Flory arguments, known results from directed polymers in random media, and a Lindemann criterion are used to estimate the field and temperature dependence of irreversibility, mechanical entanglement and thermal melting. The qualitative features of this dependence, including its nonmonotonicity when disorder is sufficiently strong, are in good agreement with recent experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
