Low field vortex dynamics of BSCCO-2223 superconducting thin films

Description

Highly oriented BSCCO thin films were produced by r.f. magnetron sputtering on MgO(1 0 0) substrates. The magnetic properties of these single high Tc-phase with different granularity were analyzed in the low magnetic field region 0<H<0.08 T. The Tirr(H) data for all the samples fitted well to a de Almeida-Thoules (AT)-like power law. On the other hand the irreversibility line (IL) was shifted to lower temperatures and both critical current density and activation energy decreased by reducing the grain sizes
