Vortex jets generated by edge defects in current-carrying superconductor thin strips

A. I. Bezuglyj, V. A. Shklovskij, B. Budinska +6

At sufficiently large transport currents $I_{\mathrm{tr}}$, a defect at the edge of a superconducting strip acts as a gate for the vortices entering into it. These vortices form a je…
