The 'mixed state'of type II superconductors occurs when magnetic flux penetrates the
material (in the form of vortices) without destroying the superconducting ground state. Zero …

During the last two decades, vortex structural transitions in type-II superconductors have
been the subject of a considerable amount of theoretical and experimental studies. This …

We demonstrate a unique prospect for inducing anisotropic vortex pinning and manipulating
the directional motion of vortices by using the stripe domain patterns of a uniaxial magnetic …

Magnetic screening response of the superconductor 2 H− N b S e 2 with varying pinning
reveals a rich evolution of the peak effect from a history-independent sharp anomaly to a …

We present the results of a study of vortex arrangements in the peak-effect regime of 2 HN b
S e 2 by scanning tunneling microscopy. By slowly increasing the temperature in a constant …

We report a pronounced peak effect in the magnetization of Co x NbSe 2 single crystals with
critical temperatures T c ranging between 7.1 and 5.0 K, and Mn x NbSe 2 single crystals …

The magnetic field dependence of the critical current is studied in single-crystal samples of
the weak pinning type-II superconductor 2 H− NbSe 2 in the high-temperature and the low …

Magnetization measurements have been used to determine the effect of magnetic impurities
(Fe) on the Larkin–Ovchinnikov (LO) 3D collective pinning model in NbSe2 single crystals …

In single crystals of 2 H-NbSe 2, we identify for the first time a crossover from a weak
collective to a strong pinning regime in the vortex state which is not associated with the peak …

We have investigated the ac susceptibility of the spin-triplet superconductor Sr 2 RuO 4 as a
function of magnetic field in various directions at temperatures down to 60 mK. We have …
