Evaluating free flux flow in low-pinning molybdenum-germanium superconducting films
arXiv:1005.2337 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.82.064502
Abstract
Vortex dynamics in molybdenum-germanium superconducting films were found to well approximate the unpinned free limit even at low driving forces. This provided an opportunity to empirically establish the intrinsic character of free flux flow and to test in detail the validity of theories for this regime beyond the Bardeen-Stephen approximation. Our observations are in good agreement with the mean-field result of time dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory.
