Abstract
Simultaneous magnetic decoration of the two sides of a field-cooled (F C) superconducting sample can provide information about elasticity of the vortex lattice. We report such a decoration experiment done on a s ingle crystal of NbSe2 and analyze the behavior of the displacement co rrelator [u(2)(r,z)] for the FC lattice. The ratio of the elastic cons tants c(66)/c(44) is found to be strongly renormalized downward, proba bly by the presence of topological defects.
