Abstract

We theoretically investigate the magnetic response on a three-dimensional superconducting nanobridge system, which is compound of two parallel parallelepiped (samples) connected through a nanobridge of size L\mathbf{L} and thickness x\mathbf{x}, which mediates interactions between them. This study is conducted in the presence of a magnetic field H\mathbf{H} and the transport of a direct current J\mathbf{J}. We use the well-know time dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory (TDGL\mathbf{TDGL}) for analyzed the possible effects on the density Gibbs free energy F\mathbf{F}, magnetization M\mathbf{M}, and superconducting electronic Cooper pair density ψ2|\psi|^{2}. We are interested in studying two cases: varying the L\mathbf{L} and x\mathbf{x} of the nanobridge in the absence of induced J\mathbf{J}, and including the induction of external J\mathbf{J} for fixed L\mathbf{L} and x\mathbf{x}. We find that L\mathbf{L} and x\mathbf{x} play an essential role in stabilizing (controlling) vortex states in the nanobridge, and the presence of induced J\mathbf{J} (J>0\mathbf{J}>0 and J<0\mathbf{J}<0), with a fixed L\mathbf{L} and x\mathbf{x}, causes the movement of vortex states in the nanobridge just when J\mathbf{J} is induced at both faces of superconducting nanobridge system.
