In general a superconducting state breaks multiple symmetries and, therefore, is characterized by several different coherence lengths $\xi_i$, $i=1,...,N$. Moreover in multiband material even superconducting states that break only a single…
We study the low temperature dynamics of a single flux line in a bulk type-II superconductor, driven by a surface current, both near and above the onset of an instability which sets in at a critical driving. We found that above the critical…
