Abstract

The vortex phase diagram in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ is investigated by studying the linear ac transverse permeability μ⊥=μ⊥′+μ⊥″ (hac⊥H‖c axis) in a wide range of temperature and magnetic fields. At low fields (H<300Oe)superconducting phase coherence in the c direction shows that the ordered vortex solid state is characterized by a c-axis vortex correlation length lc limited by the sample thickness d. At low temperatures (T<20K) point disorder is sufficiently strong and the phase coherent ordered vortex solid becomes metastable. In the temperature range 20<T<42K when the applied field exceeds Hent(T), the ordered vortex state transforms into an entangled state with no indication of reduction of lc. At a higher crossover field the linear response becomes Ohmic, lc<d. At higher temperatures the vortex structure becomes an uncorrelated vortex liquid in all directions.
