Dissipation of moving vortices in thin films

Journal Article · · Physical Review. B

In this letter, moving vortices in thin superconducting films are considered within the time-dependent London description. The dissipation due to out-of-core normal excitations for two vortices moving together turns out to have a minimum for the separation vector $$\textit{a}$$ parallel to the velocity and equal to $$a_m$$ ≈ 2.2 Λ , where Λ is the Pearl length. The minimum entropy production suggests that moving vortices should have a tendency to form chains along the velocity with a period of the order $$a_m$$.
