Vortex melting and the liquid state in YBa₂Cu₃O{sub x}. [electronic resource]

The experimental vortex phase diagram of YBa₂Cu₃O{sub x} is reviewed, with emphasis on first order vortex melting, the upper and lower critical points on the melting line, and the effect of disorder arising from twin boundary and point defect pinning.
