摘要
The high-field critical behavior of type-II superconductors with weak disorder is dominated by the Landau levels of Cooper pairs. The macroscopic degeneracy of Landau manifolds suppresses phase coherence and eliminates the Abrikosov transition in dimensions two and three. A novel phase transition, unrelated to the conventional Abrikosov transition, is predicted to take its place. At this transition the normal state is unstable to the charge-density wave of Cooper pairs. The nature of this new state is discussed. This phase should be most readily observable in layered materials and at fields > 1 - 10 T.
