Unconventional vortex dynamics in mesoscopic superconducting Corbino disks.
The discrete shell structure of vortex matter strongly influences the flux dynamics in mesoscopic superconducting Corbino disks. While the dynamical behavior is well understood in large and in very small disks, in the intermediate-size regime it occurs to be much more complex and unusual, due to (in)commensurability between the vortex shells. We demonstrate unconventional vortex dynamics (inver...
متن کاملVortex Matter in Mesoscopic Superconducting Disks and Rings
Phase transitions between different (i.e. giant and multi-vortex) superconducting states and between the superconducting-normal state of mesoscopic disks and rings are studied in the presence of an external magnetic field by solving the two non-linear Ginzburg-Landau equations self-consistently. The flux through a circular disk with a hole in the middle is not quantized.
متن کاملDirect observation of vortex shells and magic numbers in mesoscopic superconducting disks.
We have studied vortex configurations in mesoscopic superconducting disks using the Bitter decoration technique. For a broad range of vorticities L the circular geometry is found to lead to the formation of concentric shells of vortices. From images obtained on disks of different sizes in a range of magnetic fields we traced the evolution of vortex states and identified stable and metastable co...
متن کاملO ct 1 99 9 Transitions between different superconducting states in mesoscopic disks
Using a linear analysis, we study the stability of giant–vortex states in very thin disks. The vortex expulsion and penetration fields are obtained for finite thickness disks from a numerical solution of the non-linear Ginzburg–Landau (GL) equations. Using an extension of the London approximation, in which the phase distribution of the order parameter is prescribed and the superconducting elect...
متن کاملElectronic structure of multiquantum giant vortex states in mesoscopic superconducting disks.
We report self-consistent calculations of the microscopic electronic structure of the so-called giant vortex states. These multiquantum vortex states, detected by recent magnetization measurements on submicron disks, are qualitatively different from the Abrikosov vortices in the bulk. We find that, in addition to multiple branches of bound states in the core region, the local tunneling density ...
