At sufficiently large transport currents $I_\mathrm{tr}$, a defect at the edge of a superconducting strip acts as a gate for the vortices entering into it. These vortices form a jet, which is narrow near the defect and expands due to the…
The model of the Abrikosov vortex pinning on a cylindrical defect is proposed. It is shown that in the limit $\varkappa \gg 1$ the potential for the vortex core excitations can be treated in terms of the zero-range potentials method. Using…
We employ the Gross--Pitaevskii theory to model a quantized vortex depinning from a small obstacle in a two-dimensional superfluid due to an imposed background superfluid flow. We find that, when the flow's velocity exceeds a critical…
Order-disorder transitions take place in many physical systems, but observing them in detail in real materials is difficult. In two- or quasi-two-dimensional systems, the transition has been studied by computer simulations and…
We study the penetration of an external magnetic field into a superconductor with collinear $d$-wave altermagnetic order. We demonstrate that instead of circular Abrikosov vortices, the magnetic field generates elliptical vortices with…
Vortices are topological defects associated with superfluids and superconductors, which, when mobile, dissipate energy destroying the dissipation-less nature of the superfluid. The nature of this "quantum dissipation" is rooted in the…

In a p-wave Fermi superfluid suffering from the nonmagnetic impurity scatterings, a coefficient of a gradient term becomes divergent upon cooling. Consequences of this divergent rigidity in the stable vortices in the B phase in globally…
Fermions localized within vortex cores can form one-dimensional Fermi liquids. The nonzero density of states in these Fermi-liquids can lead to instability of the symmetric structure of the vortex core. We consider a symmetry breaking which…

Deformation of the superconductor crystal lattice caused by Abrikosov vortices is formulated as a response of the elastic crystal lattice to electrostatic forces. It is shown that the lattice compression is linearly proportional to the…
In the d-wave superconductors the electronic entropy associated with an isolated vortex diverges logarithmically with the size of the system even at low temperatures. In the vortex array the entropy per vortex per layer, $S_V$, is much…
Vortex breaking has been traditionally studied for nonuniform critical current densities, although it may also appear due to nonuniform pinning force distributions. In this article we study the case of a…
