Abstract

From the experimentally obtained H(T) dependence of the transition boundary between short-range and long-range vortex order for Rb3C60 superconductors, the temperature dependences of the effective potential barrier for pinning of a single vortex on a pinning center and the effective pinning force are calculated. It is shown that the effective barrier falls almost linearly with the increase of temperature and that the harmonic thermal fluctuations strongly decrease the effective pinning force as T3/2.
