Vortex confinement by columnar defects inYBa2Cu3O7crystals: Enhanced pinning at high fields and temperatures

Civale, L., Marwick, A. D., Worthington, T. K., Kirk, M. A., Thompson, J. R., Krusin-Elbaum, L., Sun, Y., Clem, J. R., Holtzberg, F.·1991·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We report the realization of a microstructure which leads to very strong high-temperature flux pinning in ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ crystals. Aligned discontinuous columns of damaged material, about 50 \AA{} in diameter and more than 15 \ensuremath{\mu}m long, are produced by 580-MeV Sn-ion irradiation. The enhancement of flux pinning is largest when the applied magnetic field is aligned with these tracks. At high temperatures and fields the pinning is much greater than that produced by random point defects, and causes a considerable enlargement of the irreversibility region in the H-T plane.

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.
