Phys. Rev. B 63, 180505(R) (2001) [4 pages]Phase fluctuations and vortex lattice melting in triplet quasi-one-dimensional superconductors at high magnetic fields
Assuming that the order parameter corresponds to an equal spin triplet pairing symmetry state, we calculate the effect of phase fluctuations in quasi-one-dimensional superconductors at high magnetic fields applied along the y (b′) axis. We show that phase fluctuations can destroy the theoretically predicted triplet reentrant superconducting state, and that they are responsible for melting the magnetic-field induced Josephson vortex lattice, above a magnetic-field dependent melting temperature Tm. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
