The unbinding of vortex-antivortex pairs for the classical two-dimensional XY model in a magnetic field is studied. A single such pair is connected by a string of overturned spins, leading to linear confinement. We show that this system…
Using a frustrated XY model on a lattice with open boundary conditions, we numerically study the magnetization change near a flux lattice melting transition at low fields. In both two and three dimensions, we find that the melting…
We study vortex states in a 3d random-field XY model of up to one billion lattice spins. Starting with random spin orientations, the sample freezes into the vortex-glass state with a stretched-exponential decay of spin correlations, having…
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) mechanism describes universal vortex unbinding in many two-dimensional systems, including the paradigmatic XY model. However, most of these systems present a complex interplay between excitations at…
The thermodynamic nature of two-dimensional vortex matter is studied theoretically through a duality analysis of the XY model over the square lattice with low uniform frustration. A phase-coherent vortex lattice state is found at low…
We develop a numerical method for detecting a vortex unbinding transition in a two-dimensional system by measuring large scale fluctuations in the total vortex dipole moment ${\vec P}$ of the system. These are characterized by a quantity…
We study a recent generalization proposed for the XY model in two and three dimensions. Using both, the continuum limit and discrete lattice, we obtained the vortex configuration and shown that out-of-plane vortex solutions are deeply…
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 uniformly frustrated XY model with f=1/3 on a dice lattice is shown to possess a so well developed accidental degeneracy of its ground states that the difference between the free energies of fluctuations does not lead to the…
The 2d XY model exhibits an essential phase transition, which was predicted long ago --- by Berezinskii, Kosterlitz and Thouless (BKT) --- to be driven by the (un)binding of vortex--anti-vortex pairs. This transition has been confirmed for…
We consider a non-equilibrium extension of the two-dimensional (2D) XY model, equivalent to the noisy Kuramoto model of synchronization with short-range coupling, where rotors sitting on a square lattice are self-driven by random intrinsic…
Binding and unbinding of vortices drives Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition in two-dimensional XY model. Here we investigate whether similar mechanism works in two-dimensional Heisenberg model, by using the fluctuation of skyrmion number…
Theories, simulations and experiments on vortex dynamics in quasi-two-dimensional magnetic materials are reviewed. These materials can be modelled by the classical two-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg model with XY (easy-plane) symmetry.…
How the vortex lattice orders at long range in a layered superconductor with weak point pinning centers is studied through a duality analysis of the corresponding frustrated XY model. Vortex-glass order emerges out of the vortex liquid…
We consider the vortex matter in a three-dimensional two-component superconductor with individually conserved condensates with different bare phase stiffnesses in a finite magnetic field, such as the projected superconducting state of…
We discuss the unconventional magnetic response and vortex states arising in noncentrosymmetric superconductors with chiral octahedral and tetrahedral ($O$ or $T$) symmetry. We microscopically derive Ginzburg-Landau free energy. It is shown…
We report on small angle neutron scattering measurements of the vortex lattice in twin-free YBa2Cu3O7, extending the previously investigated maximum field of 11~T up to 16.7~T with the field applied parallel to the c axis. This is the first…
We study random-field xy spin model at T=0 numerically on lattices of up to 1000 x 1000 x 1000 spins with the accent on the weak random field. Our numerical method is physically equivalent to slow cooling in which the system is gradually…
In this paper, we propose a quantum field theoretical renormalization group approach to the vortex dynamics of magnetically coupled layered superconductors, to supplement our earlier investigations on the Josephson-coupled case. We…
The ground state of the antiferromagnetic XY model with a kagome lattice is characterized by a well developed accidental degeneracy. As a consequence the phase transition in this system consists in unbinding of pairs of fractional vortices.…
