输运各向异性对人工钉扎超导体中间隙涡旋态的探测

Transport Anisotropy as a Probe of the Interstitial Vortex State in Superconductors with Artificial Pinning Arrays

C. Reichhardt, C. J. Olson Reichhardt

摘要:

我们使用模拟表明,当间隙涡旋存在于超导体与周期性钉扎阵列,在两个垂直方向上的运输可以是各向异性的。各向异性的程度作为场的函数而变化,这是由于间隙涡旋晶格在不同的匹配场下具有不同的有序性。各向异性是最明显的匹配领域,但持续在无公度领域,它是最突出的三角形,蜂窝状,和戈薇钉扎阵列。尽管正方形钉扎阵列的垂直方向是相同的,但正方形钉扎阵列也可以在某些场中显示各向异性输运。我们表明,各向异性的结果从不同的涡旋动力学状态,虽然临界脱钉力可能是较低的一个方向,脱钉以上的涡旋速度也可能是较低的在同一方向上的外部驱动器的范围内,两个方向都脱钉。对于蜂窝和kagome钉扎阵列,各向异性可以显示作为场的函数的多个反转。我们认为,当钉扎网站可以被多次占用,使没有间隙涡存在,各向异性强烈减少或不存在。

英文摘要:

We show using simulations that when interstitial vortices are present in superconductors with periodic pinning arrays, the transport in two perpendicular directions can be anisotropic. The degree of the anisotropy varies as a function of field due to the fact that the interstitial vortex lattice has distinct orderings at different matching fields. The anisotropy is most pronounced at the matching fields but persists at incommensurate fields, and it is most prominent for triangular, honeycomb, and kagome pinning arrays. Square pinning arrays can also show anisotropic transport at certain fields in spite of the fact that the perpendicular directions of the square pinning array are identical. We show that the anisotropy results from distinct vortex dynamical states and that although the critical depinning force may be lower in one direction, the vortex velocity above depinning may also be lower in the same direction for ranges of external drives where both directions are depinned. For honeycomb and kagome pinning arrays, the anisotropy can show multiple reversals as a function of field. We argue that when the pinning sites can be multiply occupied such that no interstitial vortices are present, the anisotropy is strongly reduced or absent.
