Vortex State in High-Tc Superconductors (2002-now)
The competing interactions between vortices in type-II
superconductors and their surroundings provide rich physics.
vdsim The simulation software suite "vdsim" can compute
the behaviour of vortices (assuming the vortices are massless
particles moving in a viscous environment).
Here is a selection of results that are related to "vdsim":
- Introductory slides on 2d-simulations of vortex systems (introduction)
- the dynamic phase diagram of the 2d system (slide, animations, PRB 64 064505, 2001) )
- the moving glass phase (animations)
- the critical transverse force (PRB 67 174508, 2001)
- dealing with long-range forces (slides, JCompPhys 162 372, 2000)
- 3d-simulations of layered materials
using a mean-field approach ("substrate model")
- Domain wall formation in periodic pinning arrays (PRL 90 237001, 2003, Physica C 404 50, 2004)
- Metastable behavior of vortex matter (PRB 73 214521, 2006)
- Apparent negative motion of vortex matter due to inhomogeneous pinning. (PRB, 75 224507, 2007)
- Peak effect in the critical current of type II superconductors with strong magnetic vortex pinning (Phys Rev Lett 101, 147002 (2008), (Online: journal soton-eprints)
