Transverse magnetization and torque in asymmetrical mesoscopic superconductors

Superconductivity 2007-12-27 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics Materials Science

Abstract

We show that asymmetrical mesoscopic superconductors bring new insight into vortex physics where we found the remarkable coexistence of long and short vortices. We study an asymmetrical mesoscopic sphere, that lacks one of its quadrants, and obtain its three-dimensional vortex patterns by solving the Ginzburg-Landau theory. We find that the vortex patterns are asymmetric whose effects are clearly visible and detectable in the transverse magnetization and torque.
