- We present the results of a study of the vortex lattice in the heavy fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2, using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). In this material at temperatures well below Tc∼0.6 K, the value of the upper critical field Bc2∼2.2 T is strongly limited by the Pauli paramagnetism of the heavy fermions. In this temperature region, our SANS data show an increase in the magnetization of the flux line cores with field, followed by a rapid fall near Bc2. This behavior is the effect of Pauli paramagnetism and we present a theory-based model, which can be used to describe this effect in a range of materials. The pairing in CeCu2Si2 appears to arise from the effect of magnetic fluctuations, but the evidence for a d-wave order parameter is rather weak. We find that the vortex lattice structure in CeCu2Si2 is close to regular hexagonal. There are no phase transitions to square or rhombic structures; such transitions are expected for d-wave superconductors and observed in CeCoIn5; however, the temperature dependence of the SANS intensity indicates that both large and small gap values are present, most likely due to multiband s-wave superconductivity, rather than a nodal gap structure.

- We report on the evolution with the magnetic field and the temperature of the vortex lattice (VL) in fully oxygenated YBa2Cu3O7 as studied by time-of-flight small-angle neutron scattering. Using the High Field Magnet/Extreme Environment Diractometer beamline at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, we have obtained data up to 25.9 T - much higher than data available previously. Our VL structure results are consistent with the progressive suppression by the field of the superconductivity along the crystallographic b (CuO chain) direction and an accompanying shift of the nodal directions as the field is increased. The intensity of the diffracted signal reveals the spatial variation of magnetization caused by the VL (the "form factor"). Instead of a rapid falloff with the field, as seen in superconductors with smaller upper critical fields, we find that the form factor is almost constant with the field above ∼12 T. We speculate that this is due to Pauli paramagnetic effects.
