Resistive transport near a superconducting phase can arise from the motion of normal-state quasiparticles or that of vortices. The conductivity alone does not distinguish between these mechanisms. We propose an unambiguous method for…

Many transport processes in nature take place on substrates, often considered as unidimensional lanes. These unidimensional substrates are typically non-static: affected by a fluctuating environment, they can undergo conformational changes.…
The dynamics of vortices in type II superconductors exhibit a variety of patterns whose origin is poorly understood. This is partly due to the nonlinearity of the vortex mobility which gives rise to singular behavior in the vortex…
