Low temperature limit of the vortex core radius and the kramer-pesch effect in NbSe2

Muon spin rotation ( &mgr;SR) has been used to measure the magnetic field distribution in the vortex state of the type-II superconductor NbSe2 ( T(c) = 7.0 K) below T = 2 K. The distribution is consistent with a highly ordered hexagonal vortex lattice with a well resolved high-field cutoff associated with the finite size of the vortex cores. The temperature dependence of the core radius is much weaker than the temperature dependence predicted from the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory. Furthermore, the vortex radius measured by &mgr;SR near the low temperature quantum limit is about an order of magnitude larger than predicted.

Electron localization in a disordered insulating host

Transport of excess electrons has been studied in solid N2-Ar mixtures between 5 and 60 K using muon spin rotation in magnetic and electric fields. At low temperatures, orientational frustration of N2 molecular quadrupoles by a sufficiently high concentration of Ar atoms leads to formation of a quadrupolar glass phase in which electrons are found to be strongly localized. This feature is in marked contrast to the electron delocalization observed in the low-temperature alpha phase of pure solid nitrogen, which shows long-range orientational order.
