Visualization of the Vortex Dynamics in a Type-II Superconductor in a Periodic Dissipative State

چکیده
Using state-of-the-art analytic techniques for extracting a singularity from a complex field, we can visualize the vortices in the largest time-dependent Ginsburg Landau simulation of a superconductor performed to date. Our visualization reveals the internal dynamics of the vortices in the superconductor, explaining the cause of a voltage spike in the electro-magnetic response of the system. These simulations and visualizations indicate the emergence of a periodic dissipative state in a superconductor under certain external magnetic field and current conditions and explain a curious electromagnetic response that has been observed in experiment. ∗e-mail:[email protected]

Vortex Dynamics in Dissipative Systems
We derive the exact equation of motion for a vortex in twoand three-dimensional nonrelativistic systems governed by the Ginzburg-Landau equation with complex coefficients. The velocity is given in terms of local gradients of the magnitude and phase of the complex field and is exact also for arbitrarily small intervortex distances. The results for vortices in a superfluid or a superconductor are...
متن کاملMicroscopic analysis of the nondissipative force on a line vortex in a superconductor: Berry's phase, momentum flow, and the Magnus force.
A microscopic analysis of the non-dissipative force Fnd acting on a line vortex in a type-II superconductor at T = 0 is given. We first examine the Berry phase induced in the true superconducting ground state by movement of the vortex and show how this phase introduces a Wess-Zumino term in the hydrodynamic action Shyd of the superconducting condensate. Appropriate variation of Shyd gives Fnd a...
متن کاملUniversality of vortex avalanches in a type II superconductor with periodic pinning
In this work the robustness of a simple cellular automaton developed by Bassler and Paczuski[1] to describe the critical state in typeII superconductors is studied. Two different configurations of pinning centers are introduced and a new universality class is found. The numerical values of the critical exponents were calculated following two scaling techniques to ensure the validity of our resu...
متن کاملExtracting, Tracking and Visualizing Vortices in 3D Complex-Valued Superconductor Simulation Data
We propose a unified method for the analytically exact vortex extraction and tracking of superconducting magnetic flux vortices for both structured and unstructured mesh data. In the Ginzburg-Landau theory, magnetic flux vortices are well-defined features in a complex-valued order parameter field, and their dynamics determine electromagnetic properties in type-II superconductors. Our method rep...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Asymmetry of Vortex Flow Over Single Delta Wings
It is generally believed that, on slender delta wings, there is a critical state at which strong asymmetric vortices are found along the leading edge on the lee-side of the delta wing. These asymmetric vortices can lead to high lateral forces even when slender delta wing is at the zero angle of yaw. Some experimental studies reported recently, cast considerable doubt as to the validity of the a...
