Anisotropic flux creep and vortex pinning in the misfit-layered superconductor (SnS) 1.15 TaS 2
Misfit-layered compounds provide bulk crystalline platforms for accessing quasi-two-dimensional superconductivity because electronically active transition-metal dichalcogenide layers are separated by incommensurate spacer layers. Here we investigate field-orientation-dependent vortex dynamics and flux pinning in sing...
