Multidirectional in-plane linear correlated disorder pinning of vortices in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}.

Journal Article · · Supercond. Sci. Technol.
We have measured the anisotropic magnetoresistance when the magnetic field and the Lorentz force rotate parallel to the CuO{sub 2} planes in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} crystals having partial dislocations aligned along <1 0 0> directions, created by high oxygen pressure annealing treatments, and twin boundaries aligned parallel to <1 1 0> axes. These measurements demonstrate that aligned defects behave as linear correlated disorder vortex pinning centers by anisotropically shifting upwards the irreversibility line of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} when the vortices are confined in the CuO{sub 2} planes. The anisotropic vortex activation energy in the liquid state has been found to follow the same in-plane periodicity as the irreversibility line. Our results demonstrate that a set of multidirectional linear vortex pinning centers leading to multiple in-plane Bose glass-like transitions can coexist.
