摘要
We study the phase diagram of vortex matter in disordered type-II superconductors. We performed numerical simulations in the London Langevin approximation, using a new realistic representation of the disorder. At low magnetic fields we find a disentangled and dislocation-free Bragg glass regime. Increasing the field introduces disorder-driven entanglement, leading to a vortex glass phase. Increasing temperature melts both glasses into a vortex liquid. The phase boundaries are in quantitative agreement with the experimental data.
