We show using numerical simulations that slowly driven skyrmions interacting with random pinning move via correlated jumps or avalanches. The avalanches exhibit power law distributions in their duration and size, and the average avalanche…

Suppression of the critical temperature in homogeneously disordered superconducting films is a consequence of the disorder-induced enhancement of Coulomb repulsion. We demonstrate that for the majority of thin films studied now this effect…
