Glassy relaxation and weak vortex pinning in anisotropic (Ca0.85La0.15)10(Pt3As8)(Fe2As2)5 single crystals
We present a comprehensive study on the vortex dynamics of (Ca0.85La0.15)10(Pt3As8)(Fe2As2)5 single crystals, characterized by magnetization measurements. With a superconducting critical temperature of 32 K, this material is notable for its substantial anisotropy (5–6), which significantly influences the intrinsic vortex fluctuations. Our results reveal low critical current densities, i. e. Jc∼0.6 MA/cm2 at 1.8 K and low magnetic fields. The magnetic field dependences of Jc exhibit a fishtail or second peak in the magnetization, a feature commonly associated with weak vortex pinning and vortex relaxation crossovers. Moreover, the flux creep rates are exceptionally large at low fields and temperatures. Through Maley’s analysis, we extract low vortex pinning energies (∼50 K) and glassy exponents that are consistent with expectations for single-vortex pinning, progressively evolving towards vortex bundles. These findings enhance our understanding of vortex dynamics in iron-based superconductors, highlighting the key role of intrinsic vortex fluctuations in the vortex phase diagram.
期刊介绍:
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
