Structural studies of metastable and equilibrium vortex lattice domains in MgB2

The vortex lattice (VL) in MgB _2 is characterized by the presence of long-lived metastable states (MSs), which arise from cooling or heating across the equilibrium phase boundaries. A return to the equilibrium configuration can be achieved by inducing vortex motion. Here we report on small-angle ne...
