Vortex states and magnetization curve of square mesoscopic superconductors.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B
The structure of the vortex states in a square mesoscopic superconductor is analyzed in detail using the numerical simulation within the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) theory. Various vortex states (vortices, vortex molecules, multiquanta vortices) are observed and the magnetization curve is obtained. Different changes in vortex structures are identified with the peculiarities on the magnetization curve. Stability of a state consisting of vortices and antivortices is discussed.
