Short Presentation

An overview is given of the new theories and experiments on the phase diagram of type II superconductors, which in recent years have progressed from the Abrikosov mean field theory to the "vortex matter" picture. We then detail some theoretical tools which allow to describe the melting of the vortex lattice, the collective pinning and creep theory, and the Bragg glass theory. It is followed by a short presentation of other glass phases of vortices, as well as phases of moving vortices.

Vortex Model

The present paper provides a short review of recent progresses in understanding out of equilibrium vortex behaviours in type II superconductors by use of a schematic coarse grained vortex model. In particular, it is possible to depict a unifying scenario for magnetic and transport properties of off-equilibrium vortex matter, ranging from the reentrant phase diagram, to magnetisation loops, "anomalous" 2-nd peak, logarithmic creep, "anomalous" finite creep rate for T → 0, "memory" and "irreversibility" in I-V characteristics, "rejuvenation" and "stiffening" of the system response.
