Vortex lattice melting in 2D superconductors and Josephson arrays

Vortex lattice melting in 2D superconductors and Josephson arrays

Monte Carlo simulations of 2D vortex lattice melting in a thin superconducting film (or alternatively an array of Josephson junctions) are performed in the London limit. Finite size scaling analyses are used to make a detailed test of the dislocation mediated melting theory of KTNHY. We find that the melting …
