Irreversibility line of the MgB$_{2}$ superconductor

Superconductivity 2007-05-23 v4

Abstract

Magneto-resistivity of a c-axis oriented MgB2_{2} thin film was studied in perpendicular and parallel magnetic fields up to \sim 23 T with temperatures down to 0.38 K. Resistive critical magnetic fields were determined. Large separations between irreversibility lines and upper critical magnetic fields are observed. An effective quantum parameter as a function of temperature is proposed to explain the separations under the theoretical framework of quantum fluctuations, in good agreement with our experimental and previously published experimental data.
