Experimental data on the field and time dependencies of the isothermal magnetization hysteresis for Tl 2 Ba 2 CaCu 2 O 8 single crystals with fields applied parallel to the c-axis are reported. From the M–H measurements, we determined the first peak field (Hp), the onset field of the second peak (Hon), the second peak field (Hsp), and the irreversible field (Hirr). Using these physical parameters, we have drawn a vortex phase diagram for this system. As observed in BSCCO(2212) system, below the irreversibility line, the H–T plane is divided into three distinct phases: the vortex lattice, the entangle phase, and the quasi 2D pancake vortex states in the temperature interval 30 K ≤T≤60 K .1 From the relaxation of remanent magnetization measurements, we have obtained the flux creep activation barrier U(j) as a function of j using the method developed by Malay et al. Within the collective pinning theory, it is argued that T≤30 K , the pancake vortices are pinned individually, while for T≥42 K , the vortex state is characterized by individually pinned 3D vortex strings. At T~30 K , a crossover from 2D pancake to 3D collectively pinned state was observed and shows a smooth crossover to 3D single vortex state at higher temperatures.

It is reported in this paper on the thermally assisted flux flow in epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ deposited by Laser ablation method on the SrTiO3 substrate. The resistivity measurements ρ (T, B) of the sample under various values of the magnetic field up to 14T in directions B∥ab-plane and B∥c-axis with a dc weak transport current density were investigated in order to determine the activation energy and then understand the vortex dynamic phenomena and therefore deduce the vortex phase diagram of this material. The apparent activation energy U0 (B) calculated using an Arrhenius relation. The measured results of the resistivity were then adjusted to the modified thermally assisted flux flow model in order to account for the temperature-field dependence of the activation energy U (T, B). The obtained values from the thermally assisted activation energy, exhibit a behavior similar to the one showed with the Arrhenius model, albeit larger than the apparent activation energy with ∼1.5 order on magnitude for both cases of the magnetic field directions. The vortex glass model was also used to obtain the vortex-glass transition temperature from the linear fitting of [d ln ρ/dT ] −1 plots. In the course of this work thanks to the resistivity measurements the upper critical magnetic field Hc2 (T), the irreversibility line Hirr (T) and the crossover field HCrossOver (T) were located. These three parameters allowed us to establish a phase diagram of the studied material where limits of each vortex phase are sketched in order to optimize its applicability as a practical high temperature superconductor used for diverse purposes.
