Despite about forty years of investigations, the nature of the melting transition in two dimensions is not completely clear. In the framework of the most popular Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young (BKTHNY) theory, 2D…
The melting of the Abrikosov vortex lattice in a 2D type-II superconductor at high magnetic fields is studied analytically within the framework of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory. It is shown that local phase fluctuations in the…
We examine the vortex states in a 2D superconductor interacting with a square array of pinning sites. As a function of pinning size or strength we find a series of novel phases including multi-vortex and composite superlattice states such…
We study vortex states and dynamics in 2D superconductors with periodic pinning at fractional sub-matching fields using numerical simulations. For square pinning arrays we show that ordered states form at 1/1, 1/2, and 1/4 filling fractions…
We study the melting transition of the low-temperature vortex solid in strongly anisotropic layered superconductors with a concentration of random columnar pinning centers small enough so that the areal density of the pins is much less than…
We examine vortex dynamics and pinning in layered superconductors using three-dimensional molecular dyanmics simulations of magnetically interacting pancake vortices. Our model treats the magnetic interactions of the pancakes exactly, with…
We study the vortex pinning effect on the vortex lattice structure of the rotating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in the presence of impurities or disorder by numerically solving the time-dependent coupled Gross-Pitaevskii…
The vortex lattice in a Type II superconductor provides a versatile model system to investigate the order-disorder transition in a periodic medium in the presence of random pinning. Here, using scanning tunnelling spectroscopy in a weakly…
Theoretically, the vortex melting phenomenon occurs at both low and high magnetic fields at a fixed temperature. While the high field melting has been extensively investigated in high Tc cuprates, the low field melting phenomena in the…
A two-parameter analytical model of the magnetic vortex in a thin disk of soft magnetic material is constructed. The model is capable of describing the change in evolution of net vortex state magnetization and of core position when the…
We present the results of a computer simulation study of the melting scenario of two-dimensional soft-disk systems with potential $U(r)=\varepsilon(\sigma/r)^n$, $n=12$ and $n=1024$, both in the presence of random pinning and without it.…
The current-voltage characteristics of a porous superconductor Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox (Bi2223) have been measured at temperature range from 10 to 90 K. The experimental dependences have been analyzed within the model allowing for pinning by…
Investigations into the heterogeneous pinning properties of the vortex state created by partially nano-patterning single crystals of 2H-NbSe2 reveal an atypical magnetization response which is significantly drive dependent. Analysis of the…
We use Monte Carlo simulations of the 3D uniformly frustrated XY model, with uncorrelated quenched randomness in the in-plane couplings, to model the effect of random point pins on the vortex line phases of a type II superconductor. We map…
Vortices in thin-film superconductors are often modelled as a system of particles interacting via a repulsive logarithmic potential. Arguments are presented to show that the hypothetical (Abrikosov) crystalline state for such particles is…
A phenomenological model is proposed for melting of a vortex lattice, based on screening of the elastic shear modulus by mobile or partially pinned dislocations. A first-order softening line is found and ends at a critical point beyond…
The vortex-lattice melting line in three-dimensional type-II superconductors with pinning is derived by equating the free energies of the vortex system in the solid and liquid phases. We account for the elastic and pinning energies and the…
Melting of a solid is one of the most ubiquitous phenomena observed in nature. Most solids, when heated, melt from a crystalline state to an isotropic liquid at a characteristic temperature. There are however situations where increase in…
We carry out MC studies of 2D superconducting networks, in an applied magnetic field, for square and honeycomb geometries. We consider both dilute systems (f=1/q) and systems near full frustration (f=1/2-1/q). For the dilute case (which…
The linear dynamic response of the two-dimensional (2D) vortex medium in ultrathin YBa_2Cu_3O_7 films was studied by measuring their ac sheet impedance Z over a broad range of frequencies \omega. With decreasing temperature the dissipative…
