Thermal depinning and transverse-field tilting transitions in a planar vortex array pinned by a columnar defect

Thermal depinning and transverse-field tilting transitions in a planar vortex array pinned by a columnar defect

We study a thermal and a transverse magnetic field response of a vortex line array confined to a plane with a single columnar pinning defect. By integrating out ``bulk'' degrees of freedom away from the columnar defect we reduce this two-dimensional problem to a one-dimensional one, localized on the defect …
