Field dependence of the superconducting basal plane anisotropy of TmNi2B2C

Abstract: The superconductor TmNi 2 B 2 C possesses a significant four-fold basal plane anisotropy, leading to a square Vortex Lattice (VL) at intermediate fields. However, unlike other members of the borocarbide superconductors, the anisotropy in TmNi 2 B 2 C appears to decrease with increasing field, evident by a reentrance of the square VL phase. We have used Small Angle Neutron Scattering measurements of the VL to study the field dependence of the anisotropy. Our results provide a direct, quantitative measurement of… Show more

“…Approaching H c2 , the paramagnetic depairing causes the vortex cores to expand, making them more isotropic. For H c this suppresses the fourfold anisotropy in the screening current plane, leading to a re-entrance of the the square VL phase (Bianchi et al, 2008;Das et al, 2012a;Eskildsen et al, 1998) The temperature dependence of the VL form factor reflects the structure of the superconducting gap, ∆. Specifically, F (q) is proportional to the superfluid density…”
