Abstract:
Using small-angle neutron scattering, we have studied the flux-line lattice (FLL) in the superclean, high-kappa superconductor CeCoIn5. The FLL undergoes a first-order symmetry and reorientation transition at approximately 0.55 T at 50 mK. In addition, the FLL form factor in this material is found to be independent of the applied magnetic field, in striking contrast to the exponential decrease usually observed in superconductors. This result is consistent with a strongly field-dependent coherence length, proportional to the vortex separation.

Electrical Conductivity
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...
