Magnetic vortices defy melting moment
Aug 1, 2001
The discovery of high-temperature superconductors has stimulated a remarkable growth in our understanding of the physics of magnetic vortices - tubes of flux that are created when a magnetic field above a certain critical field penetrates such materials. Recent studies of these vortices have produced some surprising results - and physicists are learning just how rich the phase diagram of vortex matter can be.
