Magneto-Optical Measurements of the Lifetime Spectrum of Transient Vortex States in BSCCO

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We employ a high-speed magneto-optical system to image the processes of creation and annealing of transient disordered vortex states and utilize these data to measure the lifetime, t, of these states as a function of induction B and temperature T. τ increases monotonically with B and diverges as B approaches the vortex order-disorder transition induction. An exponential increase of τ is obtained as temperature is lowered. The sameτ(B,T) curves are obtained, independent of the way the transient states were prepared.
