Abstract

Six-terminal measurements of the resistive transition of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8−y crystals in a weak external magnetic field H∥c axis are analyzed to deduce the magnetic H−T phase diagram near the superconducting transition. We find evidence for two magnetic field boundaries, namely, a depinning field Hp(T) and a 3D-2D crossover field Hm(T)≥Hp(T), each of which intersects the H=0 axis at a temperature above the zero-field a−b plane transition temperature. We interpret the crossover field Hm(T) as marking the boundary between 3D vortex lines and interacting 2D vortices.
