Depinning and critical current characteristics of topologically defected vortex lattices

We discuss the role of dislocation assemblies such as grain boundaries in the dynamic response of a driven vortex lattice. We simulate the depinning of a field-cooled vortex polycrystal and observe a general enhancement of the critical current as well as a distinct crossover in the characteristic of...

description We discuss the role of dislocation assemblies such as grain boundaries in the dynamic response of a driven vortex lattice. We simulate the depinning of a field-cooled vortex polycrystal and observe a general enhancement of the critical current as well as a distinct crossover in the characteristic of this quantity as a function of pinning density. The results agree with analytical predictions for grain-boundary depinning. The dynamics of grain boundaries thus proves an essential mechanism underlying the flow response of defected vortex lattices and the corresponding transport properties of the superconducting material.
