Tunable artificial vortex ice in nanostructured superconductors with frustrated kagome lattice of paired antidots

C. Xue, J. -Y. Ge, A. He +5

Theoretical proposals for spin ice analogs based on nanostructured superconductors have suggested larger flexibility for probing the effects of fluctuations and disorder than in th…

Nematic superconducting state in iron pnictide superconductors

Jun Li, Paulo J. Pereira, Jie Yuan +19

Nematic order often breaks the tetragonal symmetry of iron-based superconductors. It arises from regular structural transition or electronic instability in the normal phase. Here,…

Thermally driven inhibition of superconducting vortex avalanches

Antonio Lara, Farkhad G. Aliev, Victor V. Moshchalkov +1

Complex systems close to their critical state can exhibit abrupt transitions, avalanches, between their metastable states. It is a challenging task to understand the mechanism of t…

Paramagnetic Meissner effect in ZrB12 single crystal with non-monotonic vortex-vortex interactions

Jun-Yi Ge, Vladimir N. Gladilin, Nikolay E. Sluchanko +4

The magnetic response related to paramagnetic Meissner effect (PME) is studied in a high quality single crystal ZrB12 with non-monotonic vortex-vortex interactions. We observe the…

Possible existence of a filamentary state in type-II superconductors

V. Kozhevnikov, A. -M. Valente-Feliciano, P. J. Curran +6

The standard interpretation of the phase diagram of type-II superconductors was developed in 1960s and has since been considered a well-established part of classical superconductiv…
