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 transition in crystalline high-T c superconductors from irreversible to reversible magnetic
behavior above a field-dependent temperature, first ascribed to 'glassiness' then to 'flux …

The equations for the gauge-invariant phases obtained in the framework of the Lawrence-
Doniach model are used to study the vortex lattice in layered superconductors in strong …

Field penetration is studied for arbitrary directions in Josephson-coupled layered
superconductors, in the quasi-2D regime described by the Lawrence-Doniach model with …

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 …

Strongly anisotropic layered superconductors are considered within the Lawrence-Doniach
model. The differential finite-difference sine-Gordon equation is derived for the order …

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 …

A principally experimental review of vortex behaviour in high-temperature superconductors
is presented. The reader is first introduced to the basic concepts needed to understand the …

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 effect of thermal fluctuations on collective flux-pinning and creeps is investigated for thin-
film superconductors and layered superconductors with weak Josephson coupling between …
