摘要
We review the prediction, made in a-previous work [T. Giamarchi and P. Le Doussal, Phys. Rev. B 52, 1242 (1995)], that the phase diagram of type-II superconductors consists of a topologically ordered Bragg glass phase at low fields undergoing a transition at higher fields into a Vortex glass or a liquid. We estimate the position of the phase boundary using a Lindemann criterion. We find that the proposed theory is compatible with recent experiments on superconductors. Further experimental consequences are investigated.
