Collective Pinning and Vortex Dynamics in type 2 superconducting thin films with Varying Magnetic Field

Yu Wu, Liangliang Guo, Renfei Wang +7

A perpendicular magnetic field penetrating a thin type-II superconductor slab produces vortices, with one vortex per flux quantum, h/2e. The vortices interact repulsively and form…
