摘要
The phase diagram for the vortex states of high-T-c superconductors with point defects in the (B) over right arrow \ \ c axis is drawn by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. The vortex slush (VS) phase is found between the vortex glass (VG) and vortex liquid (VL) phases. The first-order transition between this novel normal phase and the VL phase is characterized by a sharp jump of the density of dislocations. The first-order transition between the Bragg glass (BG) and VG or VS phases is also clarified, These two transitions are compared with the melting transition between the BG and VL phases.
