Anti-Poiseuille Flow: Increased Vortex Velocity at Superconductor Edges
arXiv:2112.12825 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.224512
Abstract
Using the time-dependent Ginzburg Landau equations we study vortex motion driven by an applied current in two dimensional superconductors in the presence of a physical boundary. At smaller sourced currents the vortex lattice moves as a whole, with each vortex moving at the same velocity. At larger sourced current, vortex motion is organized into channels, with vortices in channels nearer to the sample edges moving faster than those farther away from sample edges, opposite to the Poiseuille flow of basic hydrodynamics where the velocity is lowest at the boundaries. At intermediate currents, a stick-slip motion of the vortex lattice occurs in which vortices in the channel at the boundary break free from the Abrikosov lattice, accelerate, move past their neighbors and then slow down and reattach to the vortex lattice at which point the stick-slip process starts over. These effects could be observed experimentally, e.g. using fast scanning microscopy techniques.
