Vortex Refraction at Tilted Superconductor-Normal Metal Interfaces

Matéo F. L. Roinard-Chauvet, Axel J. M. Deenen, Dirk Grundler

We derive a refraction law for superconducting vortices at superconductor/normal metal interfaces. Simulations of the proximity effect under tilted geometries confirm this law and…
