Nonuniform self-organized dynamical states in superconductors with periodic pinning.
We consider magnetic flux moving in superconductors with periodic pinning arrays. We show that sample heating by moving vortices produces negative differential resistivity (NDR) of both N and S type (i.e., N- and S-shaped) in the voltage-current characteristic (VI curve). The uniform flux flow state is unstable in the NDR region of the VI curve. Domain structures appear during the NDR part of t...
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 کاملCommensurate and incommensurate vortex states in superconductors with periodic pinning arrays
As a function of applied field, we find a rich variety of ordered and partially ordered vortex lattice configurations in systems with square or triangular arrays of pinning sites. We present formulas that predict the matching fields at which commensurate vortex configurations occur and the vortex lattice orientation with respect to the pinning lattice. Our results are in excellent agreement wit...
متن کاملFlux pinning by regular nanostructures in Nb thin films: Magnetic vs. structural effects
– Periodic pinning effects in indented Nb films and Nb films with rectangular arrays of submicrometric Ni dots were studied. The indented samples consisted of Nb film deposited on top of Si substrates patterned with rectangular arrays of nanoholes. Pinning effects can be observed in the evolution of resistivity and critical current with the applied magnetic field, showing the same qualitative b...
متن کاملPeriodic vortex pinning with magnetic and nonmagnetic dots: The influence of size
Periodic pinning arrays can give rise to commensurability effects for the vortex pinning in superconductors. We studied the influence of size and separation of the individual pinning centers made out of magnetic and nonmagnetic dots. While there is some dependence on the dot size, the periodic pinning changes its character drastically, as soon as the separation between dots becomes comparable t...
