Hysteretic behavior of the vortex lattice at the onset of the second peak for HgBa2CuO4+δ superconductor
Abstract
By means of local Hall probe ac and dc permeability measurements we investigated the phase diagram of vortex matter for the HgBa2CuO4+δ superconductor in the regime near the critical temperature. The second peak line, H sp, in contrast to what is usually assumed, doesn't terminate at the critical temperature. Our local ac permeability measurements revealed pronounced hysteretic behavior and thermomagnetic history effects near the onset of the second peak, giving evidence for a phase transition of vortex matter from an ordered qausilattice state to a disordered glass.
