AbstractRecent measurements of the dissipation in cuprate superconductors in a magnetic field have been interpreted as providing evidence for the presence of new phases in type II superconductors: flux liquids or flux glasses. We suggest that a more conventional interpretation in terms of the electrodynamics of vortices can adequately account for all the observations. Based on this model, we propose a magnetic phase diagram.

Among the many surprises in the held of high temperature superconductivity, new features discovered in the magnetic phase diagram are among the most exciting and controversial, generating many new physical concepts and impacting practical applications. This brief review complements several other recent reviews and refers mostly to the bulk crystal (not ceramic) Y1Ba2Cu3O7 and Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2Ox materials, from now on denoted YBaCuO and BiSrCaCuO.The magnetic phase diagram of a conventional type II superconductor as a function of magnetic held H and temperature T is well known and understood in the mean-field Ginzburg-Landau and London theories. As shown in Figure 1a, a Meissner phase characterized by complete flux exclusion appears at low fields, delineated by a mean-field phase transition line called the lower critical field Hc1(T), which increases linearly with decreasing temperature below Tc and then saturates at low temperature. A second mean-field phase transition line, called the upper critical field Hc2(T), delineates the transition between the normal and superconducting states and shows a T-dependence similar to Hc1(T). In a strongly type II superconductor (in which the penetration depth λ is much larger than the coherence length ξ), the large region intervening between Hc1 and Hc2 is called the Abrikosov mixed phase. Here magnetic field penetrates the superconductor in the form of tubes of magnetic field called flux lines or vortices. In an ideal isotropic superconductor, these vortices self-organize into a hexagonal array. Defects disturb the hexagonal long-range order, causing the array to break up into a kind of glassy state with more or less short-range order.

When a magnetic field is applied parallel to the superconducting layers in high-Tc superconductors (HTSCs), vortices become Josphson vortices (JVs). To study the magnetic phase diagram of JVs in strongly anisotropic HTSCs, we propose that the JV flow-resistance measurement is a powerful probe to observe periodic oscillations in the JV flow-resistance against the magnetic field. We could determine the magnetic phase diagram of JVs in Bi -2212, in which there exist a three-dimensionally-ordered state and a two-dimensionally quasi-ordered one.

The magnetic susceptibility measurements have been made on antiferromagnetic compounds Mn1–xFexSn2 and the magnetic phase diagram was illustrated. The high temperature magnetic phases I and III, major phases, were analyzed on the basis of molecular field theory and explained the change of magnetic structure I⇌III occured at x≈0.8.
