TL;DR
This paper proposes the concept of a vortex liquid as a distinct state of matter characterized by supercurrents and fluctuating vortices, explaining phenomena observed in cuprate superconductors and solid helium.
Contribution
It introduces the vortex liquid as a new state of matter, unifying observations in superconductors and superfluids through vortex dynamics.
Findings
Nonlinear susceptibility and Nernst effect indicate vortex liquid behavior in cuprates.
Non-classical rotational inertia suggests vortex liquids in solid helium.
Vortex liquids are distinct from conventional liquids due to supercurrent dominance.
Abstract
It is suggested that the observations of nonlinear susceptibility and Nernst effect in cuprate superconductors above Tc, and those of non-classical rotational inertia in solid He, are two manifestations of a state of matter we call a vortex liquid, distinct from a conventional liquid in that its properties are dominated by conserved supercurrents flowing around a thermally fluctuating tangle of vortices.
