Abstract

Despite numerous recent studies on the Hall anomaly following the discovery of cuprate superconductivity, its origin remains contentious. We demonstrate—without invoking adjustable parameters—that a previously proposed mechanism, in which vacancies form within vortex lattice domains, provides a compelling explanation for the observations in Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox thin films reported by Nitzav and Kanigel [Phys. Rev. B 107, 094516 (2023)]. In particular, the observed power-law behavior of ρxy vs ρxx, with or without sign reversal, is consistent with the picture of vacancies on domains. Moreover, the effective vortex line length remains 1.5 unit cells (UC) across different experiments, independent of film thickness.
