Flux-line-cutting threshold in type-II superconductors

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5611110· OSTI ID:5611110
The stability of the vortex array in a slab geometry is analysed. Numerical calculations of the force exerted on a vortex in a perturbed array exhibit the existence of a threshold for flux-line cutting. For angles exceeding the critical value, the array is driven towards flux-line cutting for small perturbations. The critical angle gradient can be employed to express the threshold for flux-line cutting. (GHT)
