The melting transition in anisotropic type-II superconductors has been studied by the Lindemann criterion in the framework of elastic theory. Using two Lindemann numbers for two transverse directions, we find that the single melting transition can be obtained, when the ratio between the two Lindemann numbers reaches special value.

A model of the effective interaction between the magnetic flux-lines in a layered superconductor is derived from the Lawrence–Doniach model. We show analytically that the intralayer interaction energy can be evaluated using the Ewald summation technique. The melting of flux line lattices is studied using Langevin dynamics simulation of the model with various values of interlayer coupling strength and pinning intensities. The thermal fluctuation terms of the isothermal shear modulus are found to increase sharply at the melting transition temperature for systems with or without pinning, while the structural order parameters were close to zero at all temperatures for systems with strong pinning. The melting of the pinned flux-line lattice is discussed in the context of its elastic properties.
