B. Chen et al., EFFECTS OF COLUMNAR DEFECTS ON AC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF BI2SR2CA1CU2OX SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Solid state communications, 106(9), 1998, pp. 611-615
Extensive measurements of a.c. susceptibility have been carried out on
Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2Ox single crystals with different matching fields B-Phi.
The superconducting transition and dissipation peak become sharper in
the field much higher than B-Phi. Flux pinning and interlayer coupling
are believed to persist much above B-Phi. A line-like behaviour of vo
rtices can exist up to a higher field than B-Phi and couples the layer
