Doping dependence of the vortex glass and sublimation transitions in the high-$T_{c}$ superconductor La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ as determined from macroscopic measurements

, 2004
Magnetization and ac-susceptibility measurements are used to characterize the mixed phase of the high-temperature cuprate superconductor La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ over a large range of doping (0.075 $\leq x\leq$ 0.20).
