Complex networks and glassy dynamics: walks in the energy landscape
Paolo Moretti, Andrea Baronchelli, Alain Barrat +1
We present a simple mathematical framework for the description of the dynamics of glassy systems in terms of a random walk in a complex energy landscape pictured as a network of mi…
Grain boundaries in vortex matter
Paolo Moretti, M. -Carmen Miguel, Stefano Zapperi
We explore the statistical properties of grain boundaries in the vortex polycrystalline phase of type II superconductors. Treating grain boundaries as arrays of dislocations intera…
Depinning transition of dislocation assemblies: pileup and low-angle grain boundary
Paolo Moretti, M. -Carmen Miguel, Michael Zaiser +1
We investigate the depinning transition occurring in dislocation assemblies. In particular, we consider the cases of regularly spaced pileups and low angle grain boundaries interac…
Growth of a vortex polycrystal in type II superconductors
Paolo Moretti, M. -Carmen Miguel, Michael Zaiser +1
We discuss the formation of a vortex polycrystal in type II superconductors from the competition between pinning and elastic forces. We compute the elastic energy of a deformed gra…
