Ac dynamic reorganization and non-equilibrium phase transition in driven vortex matter
arXiv:1909.08477 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.101.060502
Abstract
Externally driven glassy systems may undergo non-equilibrium phase transitions (NEPTs). In particular, ac-driven systems display special features, like those observed in the vortex matter of , where oscillatory drives reorganize the system into partially ordered vortex lattices. We provide experimental evidence for this dynamic reorganization and we show an unambiguous signature of its connection with an NEPT driven by ac forces. We perform a scaling analysis and we estimate critical exponents for this transition. Our results share similarities with some glass-to-viscous-liquid NEPTs and invite to search for similar physics in other elastic disordered media.
