Subsurface bending and reorientation of tilted vortex lattices in the bulk due to Coulomb-like repulsion at the surface

E. Herrera, I. Guillamon, J. A. Galvis +6

We study vortex lattices (VLs) in superconducting weak-pinning platelet-like crystals of $\beta$-Bi${}_2$Pd in tilted fields with a Scanning Tunneling Microscope. We show that vortices…
