Interstitials, Vacancies, and Supersolid Order in Vortex Crystals
Erwin Frey, David R. Nelson, Daniel S. Fisher
Interstitials and vacancies in the Abrikosov phase of clean Type II superconductors are line imperfections, which cannot extend across macroscopic equilibrated samples at low tempe…

Vortex Line Fluctuations in Superconductors from Elementary Quantum Mechanics
David R. Nelson
Concepts from elementary quantum mechanics can be used to understand vortex line fluctuations in high-temperature superconductors. Flux lines are essentially classical objects, des…
