Dynamics of a Driven Single Flux Line in Superconductors

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We study the low temperature dynamics of a single flux line in a bulk type-II superconductor, driven by a surface current, both near and above the onset of an instability which sets in at a critical driving. We found that above the critical driving, the velocity profile of the flux line develops a discontinuity.
