Complex dynamical flow phases and pinning in superconductors with rectangular pinning arrays

Journal Article Reichhardt, C. ; Zimanyi, G. T. ; Gronbech-Jensen, Niels - Physical Review B

We examine vortex pinning and dynamics in thin-film superconductors containing logarithmically interacting Pearl vortices moving through square and rectangular pinning arrays for varied vortex densities including densities significantly larger than the pinning density. For both square and rectangular pinning arrays, the critical depinning force shows maxima only at certain integer matching fields where the vortices can form highly ordered lattices. For rectangular arrays the depinning force and commensurability effects are anisotropic, with a much lower depinning threshold for vortex motion in the easy-flow directions. We find evidence for a crossover in pinning behavior in rectangular pinning arrays as the fieldmore »« less

Static and dynamic interaction of superconducting vortices with a periodic pinning potential

Journal Article Martinoli, P. - Phys. Rev., B; (United States)

A model is developed which describes the static and dynamic interaction of the vortex lattice with the pinning potential due to harmonic one-dimensional variations of the thickness of superconducting films. Using a London-Pearl approach, an expression is derived for the free energy of the mixed state in thin modulated films from which static equilibrium configurations of the vortex lattice and the corresponding deformations due to the harmonic pininng force are deduced. Lattice configurations of lowest energy are found when the magnetic induction B corresponds to matching of the (undistorted) triangular vortex lattice to the periodic pinning structure. Particular attention ismore »« less

Neutron Scattering Studies of Vortex Matter in Type-II Superconductors

Technical Report Xinsheng Ling

The proposed program is an experimental study of the fundamental properties of Abrikosov vortex matter in type-II superconductors. Most superconducting materials used in applications such as MRI are type II and their transport properties are determined by the interplay between random pinning, interaction and thermal fluctuation effects in the vortex state. Given the technological importance of these materials, a fundamental understanding of the vortex matter is necessary. The vortex lines in type-II superconductors also form a useful model system for fundamental studies of a number of important issues in condensed matter physics, such as the presence of a symmetry-breaking phasemore »« less

{mu}SR studies of the vortex state in type-II superconductors

Journal Article Sonier, Jeff E. ; Brewer, Jess H. ; Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5G 1Z8 ; ... - Reviews of Modern Physics

The authors present a review of recent muon spin rotation ({mu}SR) studies of the vortex state in type-II superconductors. There are significant gaps in our understanding of this unusual phase of matter, especially in unconventional superconductors, for which the description of the vortex structure is a subject of great controversy. The {mu}SR technique provides a sensitive local probe of the spatially inhomogeneous magnetic field associated with the vortex state. For the case of a regular vortex lattice, the magnetic penetration depth {lambda} and the coherence length {xi} can be simultaneously extracted from the measured internal field distribution. The penetration depthmore »« less

Critical currents and vortex states at fractional matching fields in superconductors with periodic pinning

Journal Article Reichhardt, Charles ; Gronbech-Jensen, Niels - Physical Review B

We study vortex states and dynamics in 2D superconductors with periodic pinning at fractional sub-matching fields using numerical simulations. For square pinning arrays we show that ordered vortex states form at 1/1, 1/2, and 1/4 filling fractions while only partially ordered states form at other filling fractions, such as 1/3 and 1/5, in agreement with recent imaging experiments. For triangular pinning arrays we observe matching effects at filling fractions of 1/1, 6/7, 2/3, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/7. For both square and triangular pinning arrays we also find that, for certain sub-matching fillings, vortex configurations depend on pinning strength. Formore »« less
