Order–disorder phase transition and elastic-to-plastic vortex creep crossover in a triclinic iron pnictide superconductor (Ca $$_{0.85}$$ 0.85 La $$_{0.15}$$ 0.15 ) $$_{10}$$ 10 (Pt $$_3$$ 3 As $$_8$$ 8 )(Fe $$_2$$ 2 As $$_2$$ 2 ) $$_5$$ 5

Abstract Vortex matter in layered high- $$T_c$$ T c superconductors, including iron-pnictides, undergo several thermodynamic phase transitions due to the complex interplay of pinning energy, thermal energy and elastic energy. Moreover, the presence of anisotropy makes their vortex physics even more...
