Nonequilibrium steady states of driven magnetic flux lines in disordered type-II superconductors
Abstract
We investigate driven magnetic flux lines in layered type-II superconductors subject to various configurations of strong point or columnar pinning centers by means of a three-dimensional elastic line model and Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations. We characterize the resulting nonequilibrium steady states by means of the force–velocity/current–voltage curve, static structure factor, mean vortex radius of gyration, number of double-kink and half-loop excitations, and velocity/voltage noise spectrum. Here, we compare the results for the above observables for randomly distributed point and columnar defects, and demonstrate that the three-dimensional flux line structures and their fluctuations lead to a remarkable variety of complex phenomena in the steady-state transport properties of bulk superconductors.
