Attraction between pancakes vortices in the crossing lattices of layered superconductors
arXiv:cond-mat/0110339 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.147002
Abstract
The intervortex interaction is investigated in very anisotropic layered superconductors in tilted magnetic field. In such a case, the crossing lattice of Abrikosov vortices (AVs) and Josephson vortices (JVs) appears. The interaction between pancakes vortices (PVs), forming the AVs, and JVs produces the deformation of the AV line. It is demonstrated that in the result of this deformation a long range attraction between AVs is induced. This phenomenon is responsible for the dense vortex chains formation. The vortex structure in weak perpendicular magnetic field is the vortex chain phase, while in higher field a more complicated mixed vortex chain-vortex lattice phase emerges.
