Flux Line Lattice Reorientation in the Borocarbide Superconductors with H {parallel} a

· Physical Review Letters
Small angle neutron scattering studies of the flux line lattice in LuNi{sub 2}B {sub 2}C and ErNi{sub 2}B {sub 2}C induced by a field parallel to the a axis reveal a first order flux line lattice reorientation transition. Below the transition the flux line lattice nearest neighbor direction is parallel to the b axis, and above the transition it is parallel to the c axis. This transition cannot be explained using nonlocal corrections to the London model. In addition, the anisotropy of the penetration depth {lambda} and the coherence length {xi} change at the transition.
