Abstract:
BKT vortices show bound pairs below transition temperature. Temperature increases, and other experimental and intrinsic disorder can affect the distribution of vortices. Introducing disorder in high temperature superconductor (HTS) cuprates affects the distribution of BKT vortices as well. The modification in the vortex distribution controls different superconducting properties. There are several HTS, where superconductivity and weak ferromagnetism coexist. Any intrinsic spin structure in those superconductors is responsible for ferromagnetic ordering; eg. RuO6 octahedra in ruthenocuprates. To understand the effect on the distribution both experimental and theoretical works have been carried out. Current-voltage (IV) characteristics at zero external magnetic field measured to quantify the effect of disorder.
