The criticism of Babaev and Silaev notwithstanding, we conclude that our analysis is correct. We have found in our papers on two-band superconductors close to Tc, where the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory applies, that these materials are…
Adding energy to a system through transient stirring usually leads to more disorder. In contrast, point-like vortices in a bounded two-dimensional fluid are predicted to reorder above a certain energy, forming persistent vortex clusters.…

A thermodynamically stable vortex-antivortex pattern has been revealed in mesoscopic type I superconducting triangles, contrary to type II superconductors where similar patterns are unstable. The stable vortex-antivortex "molecule" appears…
