Symmetry-induced vortex-antivortex configurations in superconducting squares and triangles were predicted earlier; yet, they have not been resolved in experiment up to date. Namely, with vortex-antivortex states being highly unstable with…
Within the Ginzburg-Landau formalism, we predict two novel mechanisms of vortex-antivortex nucleation in a magnetically nanostructured superconductor. Although counterintuitive, nucleation of vortex-antivortex pairs can be activated in a…
Antagonistic symmetries of superconducting polygons and their induced multi-vortex states in a homogeneous magnetic field may lead to appearance of antivortices in the vicinity of the superconducting/normal state boundary (where mesoscopic…
Within the non-linear Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory, we investigate the vortex structure in a superconducting thin film with a ferromagnetic disk on top of it. Antivortices are stabilized in shells around a central core of vortices (or a…
Recent theoretical work has derived the correct form of the Ginzburg-Landau differential equations, for the superconducting order parameter and vector potential, in the presence of a small defect. Here, these equations are applied to the…
The article reviews recent developments on magnetic properties of superconductors with anisotropic Cooper pairing. In particular, we show how the concept of broken symmetries is applied to the investigation of the mixed state in…
A superconducting rod with a magnetic moment on top develops vortices obtained here through 3D calculations of the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The inhomogeneity of the applied field brings new properties to the vortex patterns that vary…
The nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau equations are solved numerically in order to investigate the vortex structure in thin superconducting disks of arbitrary shape. Depending on the size of the system and the strength of the applied magnetic field…
The influence of the geometry of a thin superconducting sample on the penetration of the magnetic field lines and the arrangement of vortices are investigated theoretically. We compare superconducting disks, squares and triangles with the…
We show that a superconducting vortex in underdoped high T_c superconductors could have an antiferromagnetic core. This type of vortex configuration arises as a topological solution in the recently constructed SO(5) nonlinear sigma model…
We use Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory to study the nucleation of vortices in type II superconductors in the presence of both geometric and material inhomogeneities. The superconducting Meissner state is meta-stable up to a critical…
We study the features of the superconductivity nucleation and vortex configurations in superconductors with modulated disorder. Using the Ginzburg-Landau-type theory with spatially varying diffusion coefficient, we uncover and explain the…
The set of the nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau equations is solved for an Al mesoscopic superconducting triangle of finite thickness. We calculate the distributions of the superconducting phase in the triangle and of the magnetic field in and…
This paper is devoted to an analysis of vortex-nucleation for a Ginzburg-Landau functional with discontinuous constraint. This functional has been proposed as a model for vortex-pinning, and usually accounts for the energy resulting from…
The effect of a periodic pinning array on the vortex state in a 2D superconductor at low temperatures is studied within the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau approach. It is shown that attractive interaction of vortex cores to a commensurate…
A simple variational model is proposed to analyze the superconducting state in long cylindrical type-II superconductor placed in the external magnetic field. In the framework of this model, it is possible to solve the Ginzburg-Landau…
Superconducting materials with noncentrosymmetric lattices lacking space inversion symmetry exhibit a variety of interesting parity-breaking phenomena, including the magneto-electric effect, spin-polarized currents, helical states, and the…
We study the structure of symmetric vortices in a Ginzburg-Landau model based on S. C. Zhang's SO(5) theory of high temperature superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. We consider both a full Ginzburg-Landau theory (with Ginzburg-Landau…
The standard Ginzburg-Landau model of competing-order superconductors is studied. It is observed that this model possesses two distinct species of vortex, and consequently has two distinct integer valued topological charges. A simple point…
We demonstrate the controlled spatial nucleation of superconductivity in a thin film deposited on periodic arrays of ferromagnetic dots with gradually increasing diameter. The perpendicular magnetization of the dots induces…
