Josephson Vortex State in Strongly Anisotropic Superconductor Bi-2212

ORAL

Abstract

We have reported that the periodic oscillations, observed in the Josephson-vortex (JV) flow resistance in Bi-2212 as a function of the parallel magnetic field, provide useful information on JV states. The 3D long-range-ordered state has been suggested from the ``beats'' phenomenon (Physica \textbf{C412-414}, 454(2004)in the oscillations. The 3D phase ranges from the lower magnetic field boundary ($H_{l})$ to the higher boundary ($H_{h})$, which is determined from the beginning and the end of the oscillations, respectively. The boundary $H_{l}$ is independent of temperature and almost constant, and only depends on the anisotropy parameter $\gamma $. Crossing the boundary $H_{h}$, the JV flow resistance without any oscillations suggests 2D-quasi-long-range ordered state, proposed by Hu{\&}Tachiki (PRB\textbf{70}, 064506(2004).
