Disordered hyperuniform vortex matter with rhombic distortions in FeSe at low fields

Abstract

In the current quest to synthesize hyperuniform materials with interesting applications, addressing the coupling of the objects composing the system to the physical properties of the host medium is crucial. With this aim we study a model system: vortices in the FeSe superconductor subject to a considerable magneto-elastic coupling with the host sample. We reveal that the low-field FeSe vortex structure is of the weakest hyperuniform type possibly due to the relevance of the anisotropic and long-ranged interaction term introduced by the magneto-elastic coupling. This work indicates that it is possible to tailor the hyperuniformity class of material systems by tuning the coupling of interacting objects with elastic properties of the host medium.
