Observation of Well-ordered Metastable Vortex Lattice Phases in Superconducting MgB2 Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

Journal Article Das, Pinaki ; Rastovski, Catherine ; O'Brien, Timothy ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The vortex lattice (VL) symmetry and orientation in clean type-II superconductors depends sensitively on the host material anisotropy, vortex density and temperature, frequently leading to rich phase diagrams. Typically, a well-ordered VL is taken to imply a ground-state configuration for the vortex-vortex interaction. Using neutron scattering we studied the VL in MgB2 for a number of field-temperature histories, discovering an unprecedented degree of metastability in connection with a known, second-order rotation transition. This allows, for the first time, structural studies of a well-ordered, nonequilibrium VL. While the mechanism responsible for the longevity of the metastable states is not resolved, wemore »« less

Journal Article Kuhn, S. J. ; Morgenlander, W. ; Louden, E. R. ; ... - Physical Review B

Despite numerous studies the exact nature of the order parameter in superconducting Sr₂RuO₄ remains unresolved. We have extended previous small-angle neutron scattering studies of the vortex lattice in this material to a wider field range, higher temperatures, and with the field applied close to both the <100> and <110> basal plane directions. Measurements at high field were made possible by the use of both spin polarization and analysis to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Rotating the field towards the basal plane causes a distortion of the square vortex lattice observed for H // <001> and also a symmetry change to amore »« less

Vortex lattice structure in BaFe₂(As_0.67P_0.33)₂ by the small-angle neutron scattering technique

Journal Article Morisaki-Ishii, Rieko ; Kawano-Furukawa, H. ; Cameron, Alistair S. ; ... - Physical Review B

We have observed a magnetic vortex lattice (VL) inBaFe₂(As_0.67P_0.33)₂ single crystals by smallangle neutron scattering. With the field along the c-axis, a nearly isotropic hexagonal VL was formed in the field range from 1 to 16 T, and no symmetry changes in the VL were observed. The temperature-dependence of the VL signal was measured and confirms the presence of (non d-wave) nodes in the superconducting gap structure for measurements at 5 T and below. The nodal effects were suppressed at high fields. At low fields, a VL reorientation transition was observed between 1 T and 3 T, with the VLmore »« less
