As the magnetic field penetrates the surface of a superconductor, it results in the formation of flux-vortices. It has been predicted that the flux-vortices will have a charged vortex core and create a dipolelike electric field. Such a…

Superconductors have two key characteristics. They expel magnetic field and they conduct electrical current with zero resistance. However, both properties are compromised in high magnetic fields which can penetrate the material and create a…

Half-quantum votices and ordinary vortices in a rotating thin film superfluid $^3$He under a strong magnetic field are considered. It is shown that $2n+1$ half-quantum vortices interpolates between $n$ singular vortices and $n+1$ singular…

When an orbital magnetic field suppresses superconductivity, forming periodic vortices in type-II superconductors, subdominant orders can emerge in the vortex cores. Rather than competing with superconductivity, we find that the emergent…
