Magnetization Relaxation via Quantum and Classical Vortex Motion in a Bose Glass Superconductor
Abstract
I show that in Bose Glass superconductor with high and at low the magnetization relaxation (S), dominated by quantum tunneling, is , which crosses over to the conventional classical rate at higher and lower , with the crossover . I argue that due to interactions between flux lines there exist three relaxation regimes, depending on whether , , , corresponding to Strongly-pinned Bose Glass (SBG) with large , Mott Insulator (MI) with vanishing S, and Weakly-pinned Bose Glass (WBG) characterized by small . I discuss the effects of interactions on and focus attention on the recent experiment which is consistently described by the theory.
