Probing dynamics and pinning of single vortices in superconductors at nanometer scales
Probing dynamics and pinning of single vortices in superconductors at nanometer scales
The dynamics of quantized magnetic vortices and their pinning by materials defects determine electromagnetic properties of superconductors, particularly their ability to carry non-dissipative currents. Despite recent advances in the understanding of the complex physics of vortex matter, the behavior of vortices driven by current through a multi-scale potential of the …
