Nonequilibrium dislocation dynamics and instability of driven vortex lattices in two dimensions

Nonequilibrium dislocation dynamics and instability of driven vortex lattices in two dimensions

We consider dislocations in a vortex lattice that is driven in a two-dimensional superconductor with random impurities. The structure and dynamics of dislocations are studied in this genuine nonequilibrium situation on the basis of a coarse-grained equation of motion for the displacement field. The presence of dislocations leads to a …
