Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in the form of Abrikosov vortices (also
called flux lines, flux tubes, or fluxons) each carrying a quantum of magnetic flux phi 0= h/2e …

A general expression for the elastic energy of the flux-line lattice (FLL) in anisotropic
superconductors is given. From this we derive three tilt moduli c 44 (k) for the FLL in uniaxial …

Various properties of the flux-line lattice (FLL) in high-T c superconductors are compiled,
derived, and discussed. Useful general and updated expressions for the energy and …

The elastic moduli of the two-dimensional flux-line lattice in a uniaxial superconductor are
evaluated for an arbitrary orientation of vortices (ie, of the magnetic induction) within the …

In high-Tc superconductors (HTSC) the thermal fluctuation of the vortex lattice (VL) may
become large since the vortex lattice is soft due to the strong overlap of the vortex fields and …

The elastic properties of the flux line lattice (FLL) in type II superconductors are calculated
from the linearized Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory for large inductions B≈ H c2. They appear …

As H c2 is approached the rigidity of the flux-line lattice falls to zero more rapidly than the
pinning strength of inhomogeneities. This allows the flux lattice to conform more readily to …

The thermal-and disorder-induced effects in the mixed state of a layered high-T c
superconductor (in a field H‖ c) are studied. The flux line lattice is of a quasi-2D type at …

The structure of the vortex lattice in anisotropic, unaxial superconductors in the domain H c
1≪ H≪ H c 2 is considered within the London approach. To first order in the small …

We derive the wave-vector-dependent elastic moduli for a flux line lattice in compounds with
underlying tetragonal crystalline symmetry. We find that it is essential to retain wave-vector …
