STM studies of CoxNbSe2and MnxNbSe2

Abstract

Cobalt and Manganese intercalated NbSe2 single crystals have been synthesized and characterized by DC magnetization and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) at low temperatures. We observed a pronounced peak effect in magnetization for both Co and Mn intercalated samples that we further investigated by low temperature STM. A structural phase transition of the vortex lattice (VL) has been observed for applied magnetic fields corresponding to the peak in magnetization.
