Description
Small-angle neutron scattering reveals the presence of an ordered vortex solid phase in high quality optimally doped single crystalline (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2. Vortex solid Bragg peaks are not described by the Bragg glass prediction. Simultaneously, the vortex solid structure factor shows a sharp drop as function of magnetic field, that is correlated with the second peak feature in isothermal hysteresis loops. Hence, the vortex order-disorder transition in this material is unrelated to the presence of vortex solid dislocations.
