The vortex hopping motion in a type-II superconductor determines the current-carrying ability and consequently, the application fields of the superconductor. However, it is not clear how the vortices hop between the different pinning regions in the superconductor. Here, we proposed that there should be magnetic flux exchange between two contacting pinning regions. A system of differential equations was constructed to describe the flux exchange phenomenon. The qualitative analysis methods and approximate methods were used. The approximate solutions of the system were obtained. The results show that the flux exchange reduces the internal field in a weak pinning region, but increases the internal field in a strong pinning region. Moreover, the flux exchange is strongly influenced by the superconductor's geometrical size.

Abstract Order-disorder transitions between glassy phases are common in nature and yet a comprehensive survey on the entailed structural changes is challenging since the constituents are in the micro-scale. Vortex matter in type-II superconductors is a model system where some of these experimental challenges can be tackled. Samples with point disorder present a glassy transition on increasing the density of vortices. A glassy yet quasi-crystalline phase, the Bragg glass, nucleates at low densities. The vortex glass stable at high densities is expected to be disordered, however its detailed structural properties remained experimentally elusive. Here we show that the vortex glass has large crystallites with in-plane positional displacements growing algebraically and short-range orientational order. Furthermore, the vortex glass has a finite and almost constant correlation length along the direction of vortices, in sharp contrast with strong entanglement. These results are important for the understanding of disorder-driven phase transitions in glassy condensed matter.

Using additional Y (or Cu) nitrate we had been successful in production of Y-enriched 123 (YBa2Cu3O7-x) as well as Cu-enriched ones. The magnetic Jc at 77K is 106 (B=0) and 105 (B=1 Tesla). A critical issue is the understanding flux pinning in terms of defects in microstructure.Precipitates were observed inside of the 123 crystal as shown in Fig. 1. These precipitated slabs are usually 3 - 10 nm long along c axis of 123 and 101 - 102 nm in the a-b plane, similar to that reported in CVD films. An interesting point is the precipitates found in both Yenriched and Cu-enriched samples have similar size and morphology. It is reasonable to assume those precipitates are the strong pinning centers for the size effect as known in type II superconductors. In the 123 compound the coherent length is about 2∼3 angstrom in the c direction and 16∼30 angstrom in the a-b plane.
