Driven vortices in 3D layered superconductors: Dynamical ordering along the c-axis

A. B. Kolton, D. Dominguez, C. J. Olson +1

We study a 3D model of driven vortices in weakly coupled layered superconductors with strong pinning. Above the critical force $F_c$, we find a plastic flow regime in which pancake…
