Glass behavior of high-Tc superconductors

  • 1. IBM Research Div., Zurich Research Lab., 8803 Ruschlikon (Switzerland)

Description

The glass concept is introduced as a generalization of the traditional flux creep picture. Glassy effects are predicted for temperatures between 70% and 95% Tc and magnetic fields in the range from 300 G to 2000 G. A hierarchy of energy barriers dominates the physical behavior. This hierarchy is considered to be the origin of a spin-glass-like memory effect in high-Tc single crystals. An important technical aspect is the influence of the glassiness on critical currents
