Abstract

By means of local Hall probe ac and dc permeability measurements, we investigate the phase diagram of vortex matter for the HgBa2CuO4+δ superconductor in the regime near critical temperature. The second peak line Hsp, in contrast to what is usually assumed, does not terminate at the critical temperature. Our local ac permeability measurements reveal a pronounced hysteretic behavior and thermomagnetic history effects near the onset of the second peak, giving evidence of a phase transition of vortex matter from an ordered qausilattice state to a disordered glass.
