Pinning Induced Fluctuations on Driven Vortices
نویسنده
چکیده
We use a simple model to study the long time fluctuations induced by random pinning on the motion of driven non– interacting vortices. We find that vortex motion seen from the co–moving frame is diffusive and anisotropic, with velocity dependent diffusion constants. Longitudinal and transverse diffusion constants cross at a characteristic velocity where diffusion is isotropic. The diffusion front is elongated in the direction of the drive at low velocities and elongated in the transverse direction at large velocities. We find that the mobility in the driven direction is always larger than the transverse mobility, and becomes isotropic only in the large velocity limit.

Probing dynamics and pinning of single vortices in superconductors at nanometer scales
The dynamics of quantized magnetic vortices and their pinning by materials defects determine electromagnetic properties of superconductors, particularly their ability to carry non-dissipative currents. Despite recent advances in the understanding of the complex physics of vortex matter, the behavior of vortices driven by current through a multi-scale potential of the actual materials defects is...
متن کاملVortex structure and dynamics in kagomé and triangular pinning potentials
We study the dynamics of thermally driven superconducting vortices in two types of periodic pinning potentials: kagomé and triangular. For the first, second, and third matching fields, we obtain the corresponding ground-state vortex configurations and their phase diagrams. We analyze the system properties by looking at the vortex trajectories and the structure factor, as well as the linear and ...
متن کاملQuasiparticle scattering induced by charge doping of iron-pnictide superconductors probed by collective vortex pinning.
Charge doping of iron-pnictide superconductors leads to collective pinning of flux vortices, whereas isovalent doping does not. Moreover, flux pinning in the charge-doped compounds is consistently described by the mean-free path fluctuations introduced by the dopant atoms, allowing for the extraction of the elastic quasiparticle scattering rate. The absence of scattering by dopant atoms in isov...
متن کاملNonequilibrium dynamic phases and plastic flow of driven vortex lattices in superconductors with periodic arrays of pinning sites
We present results from an extensive series of simulations and analytical work on driven vortex lattices interacting with periodic arrays of pinning sites. An extremely rich variety of dynamical plastic flow phases, very distinct from those observed in random arrays, are found as a function of an applied driving force. Signatures of the transitions between these different dynamical phases appea...
متن کاملDynamic Phases, Pinning, and Pattern Formation for Driven Dislocation Assemblies
We examine driven dislocation assemblies and show that they can exhibit a set of dynamical phases remarkably similar to those of driven systems with quenched disorder such as vortices in superconductors, magnetic domain walls, and charge density wave materials. These phases include pinned-jammed, fluctuating, and dynamically ordered states, and each produces distinct dislocation patterns as wel...
