Thermodynamics of a heavy-ion-irradiated superconductor: The zero-field transition
Specific heat measurements show that the introduction of amorphous columnar defects considerably affects the transition from the normal to the superconducting state in zero magnetic field. Experimental results are compared to numerical simulations of the three-dimensional $XY$ model for both the pure system and the system containing random columnar disorder. …
