Abstract

The transverse Meissner effect (TME) in the highly layered superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y with columnar defects is investigated by transport measurements. We present evidence for the persistence of the Bose glass phase for H⊥<H⊥c: (i) the variable-range vortex hopping process crosses over to the half-loop regime; (ii) near H⊥c the energy barriers vanish linearly with H⊥; (iii) the transition temperature is governed by TBG(H∥,0)−TBG(H∥,H⊥)∼|H⊥|1/ν⊥ with ν⊥=1.0±0.1. Furthermore, above the transition as H⊥→H⊥c+, moving kink chains consistent with a commensurate-incommensurate transition scenario are observed. These results show the existence of the TME for H⊥<H⊥c.
