Hysteretic creep of elastic manifolds

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study the dynamic response of driven systems in the presence of quenched disorder. A simple heuristic model for hysteretic creep of elastic manifolds is proposed and evaluated numerically. It provides a qualitative explanation of the phenomenology observed in experiments on high-temperature superconductors.
