Quantum flux creep in layered high-Tc superconductors Article uri icon

abstract

  • Quantum flux creep in sufficiently perfect layered high-Tc superconductors is shown to be possible when the magnetic field is parallel to the layers. The crossover temperature between activated and quantum creep is found as a function of the transport current, normal resistivity, and upper critical field. Quantum creep can be observable if the transport current is high enough. © 1991 The American Physical Society.
