We study numerically the motion of vortices in dirty type II superconductors. In two dimensions at strong driving currents, vortices form highly correlated ``static channels''. The static structure factor exhibits convincing scaling…

We use 3D numerical simulations to explore the phase diagram of driven flux line lattices in presence of weak random columnar disorder at finite temperature and high driving force. We show that the moving Bose glass phase exists in a large…
It was shown in our Letter that the novel glassy property of the moving lattice (transverse critical force and pinned channels) originate {\it only} from the periodicity in the {\it transverse} direction, i.e the underlying smectic density…
We examine the dynamics of driven classical Wigner solids interacting with quenched disorder from charged impurities. For strong disorder, the initial motion is plastic -- in the form of crossing winding channels. For increasing drive, the…

Using numerical simulations we show that, in the presence of random quenched disorder, sliding superconducting vortices and Wigner crystals pass through a variety of dynamical phases when an additional transverse driving force is applied.…
The effects of weak point-like disorder on periodic systems at their upper critical dimension D_c for disorder are studied. The systems studied range from simple elastic systems with D_c=4 to systems with long range interactions with D_c=2…
We show that in type-II superconductors a magnetic field applied transversely to correlated columnar disorder, drives a phase transition to a distinct "smectic" vortex glass (SmVG) state. SmVG is characterized by an infinitely anisotropic…
Exerting a nonequilibrium drive on an otherwise equilibrium Langevin process brings the dynamics out of equilibrium but can also speedup the approach to the Boltzmann steady-state. Transverse forces are a minimal framework to achieve…
