Stable vortex-antivortex molecules in mesoscopic superconducting triangles
arXiv:cond-mat/0203140 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.147003
Abstract
A thermodynamically stable vortex-antivortex pattern has been revealed in mesoscopic type I superconducting triangles, contrary to type II superconductors where similar patterns are unstable. The stable vortex-antivortex "molecule" appears due to the interplay between two factors: a repulsive vortex-antivortex interaction in type I superconductors and the vortex confinement in the triangle.
