Dendritic flux avalanches is a frequently encountered instability in the vortex matter of type II superconducting films at low temperatures. Previously, linear stability analysis has shown that such avalanches should be nucleated where the…
Dendritic flux avalanches is a frequently encountered consequence of the thermomagnetic instability in type-II superconducting films. The avalanches, potentially harmful for superconductor-based devices, can be suppressed by an adjacent…
We develop a fast numerical procedure for analysis of nonlinear and nonlocal electrodynamics of type-II superconducting films in transverse magnetic fields taking into account realistic boundary conditions. Using this procedure we explore…
Stability of the vortex matter -- magnetic flux lines penetrating into the material -- in type-II superconductor films is crucially important for their application. If some vortices get detached from pinning centres, the energy dissipated…
We report a detailed comparison of experimental data and theoretical predictions for the dendritic flux instability, believed to be a generic behavior of type-II superconducting films. It is shown that a thermo-magnetic model published very…
The penetration of magnetic flux into a thin superconducting film of Nb3Sn with critical temperature 17.8K and critical current density 6MA/cm^2 was visualized using magneto-optical imaging. Below 8 K an avalanche-like flux penetration in…
MgB2 tapes with high critical current have a significant technological potential, but can experience operational breakdown due to thermomagnetic instability. Using magneto-optical imaging the spatial structure of the thermomagnetic…
Flux distributions in thin superconducting NbN films placed in a perpendicular magnetic field have been studied using magneto-optical imaging. Below 5.5 K the flux penetrates in the form of abrupt avalanches resulting in dendritic…
We have observed the occurrence of dendritic flux avalanches in an amorphous film of Mo$_{84}$Si$_{16}$. These events are understood to have a thermomagnetic origin and involve the abrupt penetration of bursts of magnetic flux taking place…
The variety of morphologies in flux patterns created by thermomagnetic dendritic avalanches in type-II superconducting films is investigated using numerical simulations. The avalanches are triggered by introducing a hot spot at the edge of…
Local magnetization measurements on 100 nm type-II superconducting Pb thin films show that flux penetration changes qualitatively with temperature. Small flux jumps at the lowest temperatures gradually increase in size, then disappear near…
We report on the observation of dendritic flux avalanches in a large Niobium single crystal. In contrast to avalanches observed in thin films, they appear only in a very narrow temperature interval of about a tenth of a Kelvin near the…
The stability of superconducting films with respect to oscillatory precursor modes for thermomag- netic avalanches is investigated theoretically. The results for the onset threshold show that previous treatments of non-oscillatory modes…
Recent theoretical analysis of spatially-nonuniform modes of the thermomagnetic instability in superconductors [Phys. Rev. B 70, 224502 (2004)] is generalized to the case of a thin film in a perpendicular applied field. We solve the thermal…
Magneto-optical imaging is used to visualize vortex avalanches in MgB2 films at 4K. Avalanches ranging from 50 to 50000 vortices were detected. The size distribution function has a clear peak whose position moves towards larger sizes as the…
We present numerical and analytical studies of coupled nonlinear Maxwell and thermal diffusion equations which describe nonisothermal dendritic flux penetration in superconducting films. We show that spontaneous branching of propagating…
Experimental evidence of wave properties of dendritic flux avalanches in superconducting films is reported. Using magneto-optical imaging the propagation of dendrites across boundaries between a bare NbN film and areas coated by a Cu-layer…
The sub-microsecond dynamics of thermomagnetic avalanches in superconducting films with non-conducting holes (antidots) is considered. When such an avalanche reaches a hole, it is quickly filled with magnetic flux, and often its rim becomes…
We propose a mechanism responsible for the abrupt vanishing of the dendritic flux instability found in many superconducting films when an increasing magnetic field is applied. The onset of flux avalanches and the subsequent reentrance of…
Magneto-optical imaging reveals that in superconducting films of MgB2 a transport current creates avalanche-like flux dynamics where highly branching dendritic penetration patterns are formed. The instability is triggered when the current…
