Pinning-induced formation of vortex clusters and giant vortices in mesoscopic superconducting disks.
Merged, or giant, multiquanta vortices (GVs) are known to appear in very small superconductors near the superconducting transition due to strong confinement of magnetic flux. Here we present evidence for a new, pinning-related, mechanism for vortex merger. Using Bitter decoration to visualize vortices in small Nb disks with varying degrees of disorder, we show that confinement in combination wi...
متن کاملParity Effect in a mesoscopic superconducting ring
– We study a mesoscopic superconducting ring threaded by a magnetic flux when the single particle level spacing is not negligible. It is shown that, for a superconducting ring with even parity, the behavior of persistent current is equivalent to what is expected in a bulk superconducting ring. On the other hand, we find that a ring with odd parity shows anomalous behavior such as fluxoid quanti...
متن کاملSuperconducting vortices in semilocal models.
It is shown that the SU(2) semilocal model--the Abelian Higgs model with two complex scalars--admits a new class of stationary, straight string solutions carrying a persistent current and having finite energy per unit length. In the plane orthogonal to their direction they correspond to a nontrivial deformation of the embedded Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) vortices by the current flowing throu...
متن کاملFluxoid fluctuations in mesoscopic superconducting rings
Superconducting rings represent an ideal system for studying phase coherence in one dimension. We study the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of superconducting rings with a scanning superconducting quantum interference device. The physical parameters of the rings were designed to reduce the superconducting phase stiffness. We observe a suppression of the susceptibility sign...
متن کاملVortices in superconducting films are anyons
We point out that nontrivial quantumstatistics of vortices in planar superfluid systems has its origin in the Schrodinger equation rather then the Chern-Simons term. Vortices in superfluid helium films are not anyons because helium films are compressible. Quantum Hall effect layers admit vortices with nontrivial statistical interactions thanks to their incompressibility. We consider type II pla...
