Vortex-Antivortex annihilation dynamics in a square mesoscopic superconducting cylinder
Edson Sardella, Paulo Noronha Lisboa Filho, Clécio C. de Souza Silva +2
The dynamics of the annihilation of a vortex-antivortex pair is investigated. The pair is activated magnetically during the run of a simulated hysteresis loop on a square mesoscopi…

Collective vortex rectification effects in films with a periodic pinning array
Clecio C. de Souza Silva, J. Van de Vondel, B. Y. Zhu +2
The vortex ratchet effect has been studied in Al films patterned with square arrays of submicron antidots. We have investigated the transport properties of two sets of samples: (i)…

Vortex configurations and metastability in mesoscopic superconductors
Clécio C. de Souza Silva, Leonardo R. E. Cabral, J. Albino Aguiar
The vortex dynamics in mesoscopic superconducting cylinders with rectangular cross section under an axially applied magnetic field is investigated in the multivortex London regime.…
