Vortex States of a Superconducting Film from a Magnetic Dot Array
D. J. Priour, H. A. Fertig
Using Ginzburg-Landau theory, we find novel configurations of vortices in superconducting thin films subject to the magnetic field of a magnetic dot array, with dipole moments orie…
Deformation and Depinning of Superconducting Vortices from Artificial Defects: A Ginzburg-Landau Study
D. J. Priour, H. A. Fertig
Using Ginzburg-Landau theory, we have performed detailed studies of vortices in the presence of artificial defect arrays, for a thin film geometry. We show that when a vortex appro…
Core Strings and Flux Spreading Near Pinning Centers
D. J. Priour, H. A. Fertig
At the nucleus of a superconducting vortex is a small, circular region where superconductivity is destroyed. Like an atomic nucleus, this core may become deformed, and such distort…
London equation studies of thin-film superconductors with a triangular antidot lattice
Sa-Lin Cheng, D. J. Priour, H. A. Fertig
We report on a study of vortex pinning in nanoscale antidot defect arrays in the context of the London Theory. Using a wire network model, we discretize the array with a fine mesh,…
