摘要
Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice London mode!have been performed to investigate the thermodynamic properties of a vortex lattice, intrinsically pinned by the layered structure of a three-dimensional type-II superconductor. Two successive transitions, evidenced by measurements of the structure factor, are observed: a low-temperature transition that results from the melting of the flux line lattice into a smectic phase where flux lines are confined between ab-planes, and a high-temperature transition to a vortex liquid phase.
