Evaluation of crossing energy between pancake and Josephson vortices in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y

Description

In highly anisotropic superconductors, magnetic fields tilted from c-axis give rise to a novel ground state of vortices, where pancake vortices (PVs) and Josephson vortices (JVs) coexist and attract to each other. We have evaluated the crossing energy between PVs and JVs experimentally by comparing it with the line energy of PV stacks in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y crystals with artificially introduced parallel grooves on the surface. The obtained value of the crossing energy is slightly larger than the theoretical estimate
