Vortex Dynamics and the Problem of the Transverse Force in Clean Superconductors and Fermi Superfluids
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the basic ideas and results on the vortex dynamics in clean superfluid Fermi systems. The forces acting on moving vortices are discussed including the problem of the transverse force which was a matter of confusion for quite a time. Finally, we formulate the equations of the vortex dynamics which include all the forces and the inertial term associated with excitations bound to the moving vortex.

Friction on a Quantized Vortex in a Superfluid
We obtain the explicit expression of the friction on a moving quantized vortex, following the formulation of Thouless, Ao and Niu. It is shown that the friction on a moving vortex is sensitive to details but does not change the transverse force. We provide a general thermodynamic interpretation for the mutual independence of the transverse force and the friction. The friction is evaluated for t...
متن کاملFermions on quantized vortices in superfluids and superconductors Lecture Notes Summer School on Condensed Matter Physics: Symmetry of the Order Parameter in High Temperature Superconductors
The bound states of fermions in cores of quantized vortices in superconductors and Fermi superfluids and their influence on the vortex dynamics are discussed. The role of the spectral flow of the fermions through the gap nodes is emphasized. [email protected]
متن کاملSpectral Flow and Vortex Dynamics in Superfluids, Superconductors and Ferromagnets
We discuss the nondissipative Magnus-type force acting on linear defects in Fermi systems, such as Abrikosov vortices in superconductors, singular and continuous vortices in superfluid phases of He, magnetic vortices and skyrmions in ferromagnets. Spectral flow of fermion zero modes in the vortex core gives an essential contribution to the nondissipative force, which is confirmed in Manchester ...
متن کاملIordanskii and Lifshitz-Pitaevskii Forces in the Two-Fluid Model
It has been known since the pioneering work of Onsager and Feynman that the statistical mechanics and dynamics of vortices play an essential role in the behavior of superfluids and superconductors. However, the theory of vortices in quantum fluids remains in a most unsatisfactory state, with many conflicting results in the literature. In this paper we review the theory of Thouless, Ao and Niu, ...
متن کاملComment on Vortex Mass and Quantum Tunneling of Vortices
Vortex mass in Fermi superfluids and superconductors and its influence on quantum tunneling of vortices are discussed. The vortex mass is essentially enhanced due to the fermion zero modes in the core of the vortex: the bound states of the Bogoliubov qiasiparticles localized in the core. However, even with this enhancement, the contribution of the inertial term into the quantum tunneling expone...
