M. Kosugi et al., INFLUENCE OF COLUMNAR DEFECTS ON INTERLAYER COHERENCE IN BI2SR2CACU2O8+DELTA FROM JOSEPHSON PLASMA RESONANCE, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 2073-2074
Influence of columnar defects on the interlayer Josephson coupling in
the vortex state of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta is studied by Josephson plasma
resonance. The introducing the columnar defects changes the interlaye
r phase coherence drastically. We provide a strong evidence that the v
ortex-line-liquid is formed by the columnar defects.
