42 NMR Discussions Questions: Is all the sample probed by NMR measurements? Supercurrent affects the density of states and thus the NMR Knight shift data. Is this influence important? Answers obtained from our NMR model experiment: At low temperatures (bulk pinning regime), only the sample edges are probed by NMR measurements. For certain materials whose j c is large, the supercurrent may affect the NMR Knight shift data. At intermediate temperatures (surface barrier regime), only the sample bulk is probed. There may be a tiny K s due to the current at the edges only.

108 Summary Bulk vortex properties have been successfully probed. Both of the 2D and 3D models fit with the experimental resistance data approaching zero-resistance. Why? ρ c 0. Surface barrier contribution when it becomes effective. Defects in 3D vortex lattice yield similar contribution to ρ(t) as defects in 2D vortex lattice. Defects in vortex lattice in layered BSCCO resemble 2D defects (i.e., pancake vortices). Field modulated differential magneto-optical imaging can serve as a tool for estimating transport current flow distribution prior to the transport measurements. Outlook Varying channel width: size effect. Establishing electrical contacts on both the top and bottom surfaces: c-axis correlation.
