Vortex motion in type II superconductor
Applied supercurrent Js exerts magnus force on vortex core
Velocity gives induced E-field in core (Faraday effect)Current enters core and dissipates (damping viscosity)
Motion of vortices generates observedE-field
Consequence of Josephson equation
Tilt angle of velocity gives negative vortex Hall effect

Plot of Hm , H*, Hc2 vs. T
• Hm and H* similar to hole-doped
• However, Hc2 has mean-field form
• Vortex-Nernst signal vanishes just above Hc2 line

Summary
1. Existence of large vortex-Nernst region above Tc dome
2. Transition at Tc not mean-field BCS, but loss oflong-range phase correlation
3. Vortex liquid state extends high above Tc in UD regime
4. Upper critical field Hc2 is very large, 80-150 Tesla
5. Hc2 vs. T dependence not of mean-field BCS form
