Enhancement of interlayer phase coherence in the vortex liquid state of Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+y} with columnar defects
The authors studied the phase coherence in the vortex liquid state of Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+y} with columnar defects (CDs) using Josephson plasma resonance. The phase coherence as a function of magnetic field is nonmonotonic in samples with higher density of CDs, and they observe multiple resonance peaks in a limited temperature range. The characteristic field H* for the enhancement of the phase coherence normalized by the matching field (B{sub {Phi}}) is constant between 1/5 and 1/3 for samples with larger B{sub {Phi}}, while H* is constant in samples with smaller B{sub {Phi}}. In samples with CDs introduced at angles from the c-axis, H* is determined only by the density of CDs in the CuO{sub 2} layers. In a sample with CDs at 80{degree} from the c-axis, a large enhancement of the phase coherence was observed when the field is applied parallel to the direction of CDs and clear triple resonance peaks are observed.
