Abstract
We present a detailed doping dependent study of the Josephson vortex state in La2−xSrxCuO4 using infrared spectroscopy. A magnetic field as high as 17 tesla, applied along the CuO2 planes, is found to suppress the Josephson plasmon in all measured samples. We find the strongest suppression in samples with dopings close to x=1/8 and attribute this effect to the spontaneous formation of in-plane charge inhomogenities at this doping level. Several theoretical models of the Josephson vortex state are applied to explain the observed effects.

Vortices in high-temperature superconductors

TL;DR: The Ginzburg number as discussed by the authors was introduced to account for thermal and quantum fluctuations and quenched disorder in high-temperature superconductors, leading to interesting effects such as melting of the vortex lattice, the creation of new vortex-liquid phases, and the appearance of macroscopic quantum phenomena.

Upper Limit for the Critical Field in Hard Superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, an examination of some recent reports dealing with the extremely high critical fields in certain hard superconductors was presented, and it was concluded that the critical fields for these BETA -wolfran compounds are so high that they may be effectively limited at low temperatures by the normal-state paramagnetism.

How to detect fluctuating stripes in the high-temperature superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare and contrast the advantages of two limiting perspectives on the high-temperature superconductor: weak coupling, in which correlation effects are treated as a perturbation on an underlying metallic (although renormalized) Fermi-liquid state, and strong coupling, where the magnetism is associated with well defined localized spins, and stripes are viewed as a form of micro phase separation.

A note on the maximum critical field of high‐field superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum field at which a superconductor maintains superconductivity is recognized as a parameter of the super-conductor, and an attempt is made to find a relation between maximum field and critical temperature.
