STM studies of Co{sub x}NbSe{sub 2} and Mn{sub x}NbSe{sub 2}.

Conference · · Jour. Phys.: Conf. Series
Cobalt and Manganese intercalated NbSe{sub 2} single crystals have been synthesized and characterized by DC magnetization and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) at low temperatures. We observed a pronounced peak effect in magnetization for both Co and Mn intercalated samples that we further investigated by low temperature STM. A structural phase transition of the vortex lattice (VL) has been observed for applied magnetic fields corresponding to the peak in magnetization.
