Time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau Simulations of vortex guidance by twin boundaries

Conference ·
OSTI ID:212424
The driven motion of vortices in the presence of a planar defect is simulated by means of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations. Guided motion of the vortices, both internal and external to the twin boundary, is found to occur over a range of driving forces. Experimental transport data on a single crystal of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} are consistent with guided motion.
