We examine a vortex phase diagram for high-T c superconductor Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 when columnar defects are introduced by heavy-ion irradiation, by using Monte Carlo simulation based on the Lawrence-Doniach model. At finite temperatures, we numerically find a magnetic-field-driven discontinuous transition in the trapping rate of “pancake” vortices to the defects, at a critical field of B/B Φ≃ 1/3 below the matching field B Φ. The transition in the vortex liquid phase is accompanied by a discontinuous jump of the interlayer coherence, where the decoupled vortex liquid appears to partially couple along the defects.
