Commensurability effects in superconducting Nb films with quasiperiodic pinning arrays.
We study experimentally the critical depinning current I(c) versus applied magnetic field B in Nb thin films which contain 2D arrays of circular antidots placed on the nodes of quasiperiodic (QP) fivefold Penrose lattices. Close to the transition temperature T(c) we observe matching of the vortex lattice with the QP pinning array, confirming essential features in the I(c)(B) patterns as predict...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal dynamics and plastic flow of vortices in superconductors with periodic arrays of pinning sites.
We present simulations of flux-gradient-driven superconducting rigid vortices interacting with square and triangular arrays of columnar pinning sites in an increasing external magnetic field. These simulations allow us to quantitatively relate spatiotemporal microscopic information of the vortex lattice with typically measured macroscopic quantities, such as the magnetization M (H). The flux la...
متن کاملDynamic Phases of Vortices in Superconductors with Periodic Pinning
We present results from extensive simulations of driven vortex lattices interacting with periodic arrays of pinning sites. Changing an applied driving force produces a rich variety of novel dynamical plastic flow phases which are very distinct from those observed in systems with random pinning arrays. Signatures of the transition between these different dynamical phases include sudden jumps in ...
متن کاملStability of Periodic Arrays of Vortices
The stability of periodic arrays of Mallier-Maslowe or Kelvin-Stuart vortices is discussed. We derive with the energy-Casimir stability method the nonlinear stability of this solution in the inviscid case as a function of the solution parameters and of the domain size. We exhibit the maximum size of the domain for which the vortex street is stable. By adapting a numerical time-stepping code, we...
متن کاملPhase transitions of colloidal monolayers in periodic pinning arrays.
We study the phase behavior of two-dimensional paramagnetic colloidal systems on square pinning arrays, the latter being created by a holographic optical tweezer technique. When the particle interaction strength is decreased, a transition from an incommensurate to a commensurate solid is observed. At even smaller pair potentials, the interstitial particles start to melt, whereas the particles a...
