Dynamics of vortex pairs in superfluid films

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., Sect. B. Condens. Matter; (United States)
The linear response of a thermal ensemble of vortex pairs to an oscillating applied force is calculated by solving a Fokker-Planck equation. The result differs quantitatively but not qualitatively from an estimate given in the work of Ambegaokar, Halperin, Nelson, and Siggia.
