Vortex matter in layered superconductors without Josephson coupling: numerical simulations within a mean-field approach

We study vortex matter in layered superconductors in the limit of zero Josephson coupling. The long range of the interaction between pancake vortices in the c direction allows us to employ a mean-field method: all attractive interlayer interactions are reduced to an effective substrate potential, wh...
