Moving glass phase of driven lattices

arXiv:cond-mat/9512006 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.76.3408

Abstract

We study periodic lattices, such as vortex lattices, driven by an external force in a random pinning potential. We show that effects of static disorder persist even at large velocity. It results in a novel moving glass state with topological order analogous to the static Bragg glass. The lattice flows through well-defined, elastically coupled, {\it % static} channels. We predict barriers to transverse motion resulting in finite transverse critical current. Experimental tests of the theory are proposed.
