We show that on superconducting spherical nanoshells, the co-existence of the Meissner state with a variety of vortex patterns drives the phase transition to higher magnetic fields. The spherical geometry leads to a Magnus-Lorentz force…
The vortex motion in a superfluid or a type II superconductor is similar to the electron motion in a magnetic field, because they both feel a transverse force. The vortex dynamics in a superconductor is a basic property of the…
We derive viscous forces for vortices in a thin-film ferromagnet. The viscous force acting on vortex $i$ is a linear superposition $\mathbf F_i = - \sum_{j} \hat{D}_{ij} \mathbf V_j$, where $\mathbf V_j$ is the velocity of vortex $j$.…
