Hall noise and transverse freezing in driven vortex lattices

Superconductivity 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study driven vortices lattices in superconducting thin films. Above the critical force FcF_c we find two dynamical phase transitions at FpF_p and FtF_t, which could be observed in simultaneous noise measurements of the longitudinal and the Hall voltage. At FpF_p there is a transition from plastic flow to smectic flow where the voltage noise is isotropic (Hall noise = longitudinal noise) and there is a peak in the differential resistance. At FtF_t there is a sharp transition to a frozen transverse solid where the Hall noise falls down abruptly and vortex motion is localized in the transverse direction.
