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…

It is shown that in a magnetic field the vortices in superfluid electron-hole systems carry a real electrical charge. The charge value depends on the relation between the magnetic length and the Bohr radiuses of electrons and holes. In…
Abrikosov vortices play a central role in the disruption of superconductivity in type-II superconductors. It is commonly accepted that as one moves away from the vortex's axis of an $s$-wave superconductor, the density of superconductive…
We show that a moving vortex lattice, as it comes to a crystal edge, radiates into a free space the harmonics of the washboard frequency, $\omega_0=2\pi v/a$, up to a superconducting gap, $\Delta/\hbar$. Here $v$ is the velocity of the…
The response of a single vortex to a time dependent field is examined microscopically and an equation of motion for vortex motion at non-zero frequencies is derived. Of interest are frequencies near $\Delta^{2}/E_{F}$, where $\Delta$ is the…

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…
Motivated by the superconductivity of $M_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$, we study topological excitations in a nematic superconductor using Ginzburg-Landau theory. An isolated excitation at low field is shown to be either a distorted phase vortex or a…
