The behavior of vortex matter in high-temperature superconductors (HTS) controls the entire
electromagnetic response of the material, including its current carrying capacity. Here, we …

The infrared region of the spectrum has been of great interest to researchers for many years
with the mid-to far-IR frequency region from about 100 to 3800 cm 1 of particular interest …

The first edition of this book provided an introduction to the many static and dynamic features
of magnetic flux structures in what are now called classical or low-temperature …

In superconductors, the motion of vortices introduces unwanted dissipation that is disruptive
to applications. Fortunately, material defects can immobilize vortices, acting as vortex …

Incorporating nanoparticles into superconducting materials has emerged as an efficient
route to enhance their current-carrying capability. However, a thorough understanding of …

We numerically investigate a colloidal particle driven through a colloidal crystal as a function
of temperature. When the charge of the driven particle is larger or comparable to that of the …

We report on magnetoresistance measurements of the effects of 9 MeV proton irradiation on
a clean, untwinned single crystal of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ. For the first time, evidence for a …

By measuring the dynamical and conventional magnetization relaxation of Ba 0.64 K 0.36
Fe 2 As 2 single crystals, we found a strong second peak effect on the magnetization …

A general phenomenology for phase behavior in the mixed phase of type-II superconductors
with weak point pinning disorder is outlined. We propose that the “Bragg glass” phase …
