Pinning of Flux Lines by Planar Defects
Aleksandra Petkovic, Thorsten Emig, Thomas Nattermann
The influence of randomly distributed point impurities and planar defects on order and transport in type-II superconductors and related systems is studied. It is shown that the Bra…
Order and Creep in Flux Lattices and CDWs Pinned by Planar Defects
Aleksandra Petkovic, Thomas Nattermann
The influence of randomly distributed point impurities \emph{and} planar defects on the order and transport in type-II superconductors and related systems is considered theoretical…
Planar defects and the fate of the Bragg glass phase of type-II superconductors
Thorsten Emig, Thomas Nattermann
It is shown that the Bragg glass phase can become unstable with respect to planar defects. A single defect plane that is oriented parallel to the magnetic field as well as to one o…
Hysteresis mediated by a domain wall motion
Thomas Nattermann, Valery Pokrovsky
The position of an interface (domain wall) in a medium with random pinning defects is not determined unambiguously by a current value of the driving force even in average. Based on…
Variable range hopping and quantum creep in one dimension
Thomas Nattermann, Thierry Giamarchi, Pierre Le Doussal
We study the quantum non linear response to an applied electric field of a one dimensional pinned charge density wave or Luttinger liquid in presence of disorder. From an expli…
Hysteretic dynamics of domain walls at finite temperatures
T. Nattermann, V. Pokrovsky, V. M. Vinokur
Theory of domain wall motion in a random medium is extended to the case when the driving field is below the zero-temperature depinning threshold and the creep of the domain wall is…
On the Incommensurate Phase of Pure and Doped Spin-Peierls System CuGeO_3
Somendra M. Bhattacharjee, Thomas Nattermann, Christopher Ronnewinkel
Phases and phase transitions in pure and doped spin-Peierls system CuGeO_3 are considered on the basis of a Landau-theory. In particular we discuss the critical behaviour, the soli…
Hysteretic Depinning of Anisotropic CDW
Valerii M. Vinokur, Thomas Nattermann
We investigate the depinning transition in a dirty periodic medium considering a model of layered charge density waves as a prototype system. We find that depinning from strong dis…
