Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in form of Abrikosov vortices. These tend to arrange in a triangular flux-line lattice (FLL) which is more or less perturbed by material inhomogeneities that pin the flux lines, and in…
In superconductors where the coherence length is comparable to the Fermi wavelength, the vortex viscosity depends on the velocity of the vortex, leading to non linear equations of motion. The trajectories of vortices driven by a. c. fields…
