During the last two decades, vortex structural transitions in type-II superconductors have
been the subject of a considerable amount of theoretical and experimental studies. This …

A many-particle system must possess long-range interactions in order to be hyperuniform at
thermal equilibrium. Hydrodynamic arguments and numerical simulations show …

Using numerical simulations, we demonstrate that superconductors containing periodic
pinning arrays, which have been diluted through random removal of a fraction of the pins …

Using a differential magneto-optical technique to visualize the flow of transport currents, we
reveal a new delocalization line within the reversible vortex liquid region in the presence of …

We measured the effects of periodic surface holes, created using a focused ion beam, on the
phase diagram of the vortex matter in high-T c Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ δ crystals. Differential …

We use a line of miniature Hall sensors to study the effect of magnetic-domain-induced
vortex confinement on the flux dynamics in a superconductor/ferromagnet bilayer. A single …

Inferring the nature of disorder in the media where elastic objects are nucleated is of crucial
importance for many applications but remains a challenging basic-science problem. Here …

We show that the dynamical freezing of vortex structures nucleated at diluted densities in Bi
2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 samples with a dense distribution of columnar defects, B∼ 10− 2 B Φ …

We consider the melting of the vortex solid in highly anisotropic layered superconductors
with a small concentration of random columnar pinning centers. Using large-scale numerical …

When studied by small-angle neutron scattering, the vortex lattice (VL) in UPt 3 undergoes a
gradual disordering as a function of time due to U 235 fission. This temporarily heats regions …
