Abstract

We show that some experimentally observed features of vortex matter in high-Tc superconductors may be interpreted in simpler ways than it is usually done. In particular, we consider magnetic flux creep at low temperatures as well as the irreversibility line in the H−T phase diagram. We also discuss a new approach to the analysis of the equilibrium magnetization in the mixed state of type-II superconductors and we suggest an alternative configuration for the mixed state in magnetic fields close to the upper critical field.
