M. Kosugi et al., INTERLAYER JOSEPHSON COUPLING OF BI2SR2CACU2O8+DELTA WITH COLUMNAR DEFECTS PROVED BY PLASMA RESONANCE, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 293(1-4), 1997, pp. 208-211
Interlayer Josephson coupling in the vortex state of heavy-ion irradia
ted Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta is studied by Josephson plasma resonance. We s
how that the irradiation causes a drastic change of the interlayer cou
pling, We provide strong evidence that the well-coupled vortex-line-li
quid is formed due to columnar defects. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
