Experimental determination of the structure factor of a Bragg glass phase coexisting with a dirty edge state using slicing neutron diffraction

ORAL

Abstract

We use a slicing neutron diffraction technique, employing neutron reflectometry in the diffraction mode, to study the structure factor of a Bragg glass phase. We found that the ordered center region of the vortex matter gives a distinct cusp line shape in the Bragg peak. We will report our analysis using the Bragg glass model.
