The peak effect in weakly pinned superconductors is accompanied by metastable vortex states. Each metastable vortex configuration is characterized by a different critical current density J_c, which mainly depends on the past thermomagnetic…
We present results of transport measurements showing distinct path dependence of the electrical resistance in the superconducting vortex state of single crystal samples of CeRu$_2$ and V$_3$Si. Resistance measured in the vortex state of…
We present results of transport properties measurement on a single crystal of V$_3$Si showing distinct signature of peak-effect in its vortex state. The field variation of the electrical resistance in the flux-line lattice prepared by…
Using numerical simulations we examine the static and dynamic properties of the recently proposed vortex liquid crystal state. We confirm the existence of a smectic-A phase in the absence of pinning. Quenched disorder can induce a smectic…
Nonlinear transport in the low temperature vortex glass state of single crystal Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8} has been investigated over long times (up to two weeks) with fast current pulses driven along the ab plane. It is found that at low…
Depinning of vortices in percolative superconductor containing fractal clusters of a normal phase is considered. Transition of the superconductor into a resistive state corresponds to the percolation transition from a pinned vortex state to…
Hysteresis in cycling through first-order phase transitions in vortex matter, akin to the well-studied phenomenon of supercooling of water, has been discussed in literature. Hysteresis can be seen while varying either temperature T or…
We extend the classical theory for supercooling across first order phase transitions to the case when both density and temperature are control variables. The observable region of metastability then depends on the path followed in this space…
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…
We examine metastable and transient effects both above and below the first-order disorder driven decoupling line in a 3D simulation of magnetically interacting pancake vortices. We observe pronounced transient and history effects as well as…

Superfluid vortices in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase of dense quark matter are known to be energetically disfavored relative to well-separated triplets of "semi-superfluid" color flux tubes. However, the short-range interaction…
In the mixed state of type II superconductors, vortices penetrate the sample and form a correlated system due to the screening of supercurrents around them. Interestingly, we can study this correlated system as a function of density and…
We investigate the stability of noncomposite fractional vortex states in a mesoscopic two-band superconductor within the two-component Ginzburg-Landau model. Our analysis explicitly takes into account the relationship between the model…
A recent analysis has revealed singular but physically relevant 2D localized vortex states with density ~ 1/r^{4/3} at r --> 0 and a convergent total norm, which are maintained by the interplay of the potential of the attraction to the…
We present magnetization data on a weakly pinned CeRu_2 single crystal showing the existence of a stable state of the vortex lattice in the peak effect region. The stable state is achieved by cycling the magnetic field by small amplitude.…
The stable and metastable states of different configurations of a loop in the form of an eight is studied in the presence of a magnetic field. We find that for certain configurations the current is equal to zero for any value of the…
In superconductors with large values of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, exposed to magnetic fields close to the upper critical field, the magnetic field is practically homogeneous across the sample and the density of supercurrents is…
We use a coarse-grained model of superconducting vortices driven through a random pinning potential to study the nonlinear current-voltage (IV) characteristics of flux flow in type II superconductors with pinning. In experiments, the IV…
In very anisotropic layered superconductors (e.g. Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_x$) a tilted magnetic field can penetrate as two co-existing lattices of vortices parallel and perpendicular to the layers. At low out-of-plane fields the…
