Description
It is shown that recent data of Murray et al. on spatial correlations in flux lattices of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) may be explained if one assumes that 1% of oxygen atoms in CuO2 layers are missing. This estimate, being in remarkable agreement with that deduced by Kes and van der Beek from ac-susceptibility measurements, provides strong confidence that oxygen vacancies are the major source of pinning in BSCCO
