Dynamic Reorganization of Vortex Matter into Partially Disordered Lattices.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report structural evidence of dynamic reorganization in vortex matter in clean NbSe(2) by joint small-angle neutron scattering and ac susceptibility measurements. The application of oscillatory forces in a transitional region near the order-disorder transition results in robust bulk vortex lattice configurations with an intermediate degree of disorder. These dynamically originated configurations correlate with intermediate pinning responses previously observed, resolving a long-standing debate regarding the origin of such responses.

Ordered, disordered, and coexistent stable vortex lattices in NbSe2 single crystals.
The peak effect (PE) in the critical current density of type II superconductors has been related to an order-disorder transition in the vortex lattice (VL), but its underlying physics remains a controversial issue. Intrinsic to the PE are strong metastabilities that frequently mask the stationary VL configurations. We follow shaking and thermal protocols in NbSe2 single crystals to access these...
متن کاملTopological defects in the random-field XY model and the pinned vortex lattice to vortex glass transition in type-II superconductors.
As a simplified model of randomly pinned vortex lattices or charge-density waves, we study the random-field XY model on square (d = 2) and simple cubic (d = 3) lattices. We verify in Monte Carlo simulations, that the average spacing between topological defects (vortices) diverges more strongly than the Imry-Ma pinning length as the random field strength, H, is reduced. We suggest that for d = 3...
متن کاملSimulation of the phase diagram of magnetic vortices in two-dimensional superconductors: evidence for vortex chain formation.
We study the superconducting vortex states induced by the interplay of long-range Pearl repulsion and short-range intervortex attraction using Langevin dynamics simulations. We show that at low temperatures the vortices form an ordered Abrikosov lattice both in low and high fields. The vortices show distinctive modulated structures at intermediate fields depending on the effective intervortex a...
متن کاملPhotonic crystals for matter waves: Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices.
We overview our recent theoretical studies on nonlinear atom optics of the Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) loaded into optical lattices. In particular, we describe the band-gap spectrum and nonlinear localization of BECs in one- and two-dimensional optical lattices. We discuss the structure and stability properties of spatially localized states (matter-wave solitons) in 1D lattices, as well as...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional solitons in nonlinear lattices.
We address the existence and stability of two-dimensional solitons in optical or matter-wave media, which are supported by purely nonlinear lattices in the form of a periodic array of cylinders with self-focusing nonlinearity, embedded into a linear material. We show that such lattices can stabilize two-dimensional solitons against collapse. We also found that stable multipoles and vortex solit...
