Γ-stability and Vortex Motion in Type Ii Superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation for superconductors with a strictly complex relaxation parameter, and derive motion laws for the vortices in the case of a finite number of vortices in a bounded magnetic field. The motion laws correspond to the flux-flow Hall effect. As our main tool, we develop a quantitative Γstability result relating the Ginzburg-Landau energy to the renormalized energy.

Stochastic dynamics of Ginzburg-Landau vortices in superconductors
The phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau model for lowtemperature superconductivity has received much attention. However, it is not applicable to physical contexts that do not take into account factors such as material defects or thermal fluctuations. Thus, existing studies of the stability, dynamics, interactions, and other properties of the vortex state do not necessarily carry over to situations...
متن کاملVortex pinning by inhomogeneities in type-II superconductors
The methods of formal matched asymptotics are used to examine the motion of a curvilinear vortex in an inhomogeneous type-II superconducting material in the limit as the vortex core radius tends to zero. The resulting law of motion indicates that the logarithm of the equilibrium density of the superconducting electrons acts as a pinning potential for the vortex, so that vortices will be attract...
متن کاملAbsence of dipole transitions in vortices of type-II superconductors.
The response of a single vortex to a time dependent field is examined microscopically and an equation of motion for vortex motion at non-zero frequencies is derived. Of interest are frequencies near ∆/EF , where ∆ is the bulk energy gap and EF is the fermi energy. The low temperature, clean, extreme type II limit and maintaining of equilibrium with the lattice are assumed. A simplification occu...
متن کاملDynamics and stability of vortex-antivortex fronts in type-II superconductors.
The dynamics of vortices in type-II superconductors exhibit a variety of patterns whose origin is poorly understood. This is partly due to the nonlinearity of the vortex mobility, which gives rise to singular behavior in the vortex densities. Such singular behavior complicates the application of standard linear stability analysis. In this paper, as a first step towards dealing with these dynami...
متن کاملBoundary layer model for vortex fingers in type-II superconductors
Propagating fingerlike patterns in type-II superconductors are studied through a boundary layer model that takes into account the coupling with the temperature of the sample. By formulating an approach based on an interfacial description for a domain of vortices, we determine the shape-preserving fronts and study the properties and scale of the patterns, such as the fingers’ shape and width. We...
