Vortex lattices in strong type-II superconducting two-dimensional strips
Vortex lattices in strong type-II superconducting two-dimensional strips
We show how to calculate semianalytically the dense vortex state in strong type-II superconducting nanostructures. For the specific case of a strip, we find vortex lattice solutions that also incorporate surface superconductivity. We calculate the energy cost to displace individual vortex rows parallel to the surfaces and find that this …
