Enhanced pinning for vortices in hyperuniform pinning arrays and emergent hyperuniform vortex configurations with quenched disorder
Abstract
Disordered hyperuniformity is a state of matter exhibiting both isotropic liquid-like properties and crystalline-like properties such as minimal density fluctuations over long distances. Such states arise for jammed particle assemblies and in nonequilibrium systems. An open question is whether the properties of disordered hyperuniformity can be harnessed for technological applications. A major issue for applications of type-II superconductors is preventing the motion or depinning of magnetic vortices in order to achieve high critical currents, so there is great interest in identifying optimal pinning site geometries. Using large-scale simulations, we show that a disordered hyperuniform pinning arrangement produces enhanced vortex pinning compared to an equal number of purely randomly arranged pinning sites, and that the enhancement is robust over a wide parameter range for both short- and long-range vortex-vortex interactions. In disordered hyperuniform arrays, pinning density fluctuations are suppressed, permitting higher pin occupancy and preventing weak links that lead to easy-flow channeling. We also show that in amorphous vortex states on either random or disordered hyperuniform pinning arrays, the vortices themselves exhibit disordered hyperuniformity due to the repulsive nature of the vortex-vortex interactions.
