The theoretical and experimental results concerning the thermodynamical and low-
frequency transport properties of hybrid structures, consisting of spatially separated …

This review is dedicated to summarizing the recent research on vortex dynamics and
pinning effects in superconducting films with artificial magnetic structures. The fabrication of …

Using a particle-based model, we simulate the behavior of a skyrmion under the influence of
asymmetric funnel geometries and ac driving at zero temperature. We specifically …

We show that ac driven skyrmions interacting with an asymmetric substrate provide a
realization of a class of ratchet system which we call a vector ratchet that arises due to the …

A conformal transformation of a uniform triangular pinning array produces a structure called
a conformal crystal which preserves the sixfold ordering of the original lattice but contains a …

The mixed-state resistive response of a superconductor thin film with an asymmetric
washboard pinning potential subject to superimposed dc and ac currents of arbitrary …

With advances in fabrication technologies it is now possible to create precisely controlled
geometries and pinning landscapes for vortex matter in type-II superconductors. Here we …

We show using numerical simulations that vortices in honeycomb pinning arrays can exhibit
a remarkable variety of dynamical phases that are distinct from those found for triangular …

The influence of an ac current of arbitrary amplitude and frequency on the mixed-state dc-
voltage-ac-drive ratchet response of a superconducting film with a dc current-tilted uniaxial …

Triangular arrays of Ni nanotriangles embedded in superconducting Nb films exhibit
unexpected dynamical vortex effects. Collective pinning with a vortex-lattice configuration …
