Two New Vortex Liquids

Abstract

It is suggested that the observations of nonlinear susceptibility and Nernst effect in cuprate superconductors above Tc, and those of non-classical rotational inertia in solid He, are two manifestations of a state of matter we call a vortex liquid, distinct from a conventional liquid in that its properties are dominated by conserved supercurrents flowing around a thermally fluctuating tangle of vortices.
