Tilting instability and other anomalies in the flux-lattice in some magnetic superconductors
T. K. Ng, C. M. Varma
Abstract
The flux-line lattice in the compound ErNi2B2C, which has a tendency to ferromagnetic order in the a-b plane is studied with external magnetic field direction close to the c-axis. We show the existence of an instability where the direction of flux-lines spontaneously tilts away from that of the applied field near the onset of ferromagnetic order. The enhanced fluctuations in the flux lattice and the square flux lattice recently observed are explained and further experiments suggested.
