Abstract

Neutron small-angle diffraction has been used to investigate the flux-line lattice structure within single crystals of the high-temperature superconductor Bi_2.15Sr_1.95CaCu₂O_{8 + x}. The diffracted intensity goes rapidly to zero as the magnetic field or the temperature is increased. Melting at low fields as a function of temperature coincides with the appearence of finite resistance within the superconducting state. At low temperatures the diffracted intensity disappears in fields greater than ∼ 70 mT, probably due to the decomposition of the flux-line lattice into randomly pinned 2d "pancake" vortices.
