Chang, Johan JuulMesot, Joël2013-09-112013-09-112013-09-11200810.1007/s12043-008-0256-0https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/94578Using small angle neutron scattering we have been able to observe for the first time a well-defined vortex lattice (VL) structure both in the hole-doped LSCO and electron-doped NCCO superconductors. Our measurements on optimally doped LSCO reveal the existence of a magnetic field-induced phase transition from a hexagonal to a square coordination of the VL. Various scenarios to explain such phase transition are presented. In NCCO also a clear square VL could be detected, which is unexpectedly kept down to the lowest measurable magnetic fields.text::journal::journal article::research article
