- Abstract
Using molecular dynamic simulations for the melting transition of a flux line lattice(FLL) with point disordered pinnings, thermal fluctuations and magnetic interactions between pancake vortices, we study the disorder-driven melting transition from a disentangled and ordered Bragg glass (BG) to an entangled amorphous vortex glass (VG) or a vortex liquid (VL) in the pinning strength-temperature phase diagram. A portion of the BG region is found to be sandwiched in between the VG phase at lower temperatures and VL phase at higher temperatures, exhibiting inverse melting behavior observed recently on BSCCO crystals.
