Abstract
The flux-line lattice dissipation and the pinning force of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 and YBa2Cu3O7 films and a Nb/Cu multilayer are investigated with the vibrating reed technique. In magnetic fields oriented under a small angle with respect to the film surfaces the Bi-2:2:1:2 film shows a series of pronounced dissipation maxima at matching fields BN in the irreversible region of the magnetic phase diagram. The Y-1:2:3 film shows tiny damping maxima, whereas no structure in the dissipation of the Nb/Cu multilayer is detected below the upper critical field. The comparison of the matching fields to an anisotropic London model shows that the dissipation maxima are caused by rearrangements of the flux-line lattice configuration due to interactions with the sample surface. The different behavior of the high-temperature superconductors and the Nb/Cu multilayer is understood by explicitly taking the surface barrier into account. Deviations from the surface induced commensurability of the flux-line lattice due to the intrinsic pinning are discussed. Our results indicate that pancake vortices in the Bi-2:2:1:2 film should be coupled below the irreversibility line and below magnetic fields B⊥≤0.5 T perpendicular to the film surface. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
