Dynamics of vortex-antivortex pair in a superconducting thin strip with narrow slits

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/26/4/047403

Abstract In the framework of phenomenological time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) formalism, the dynamical properties of vortex-antivortex (V-Av) pair in a superconductor film with a narrow slit was studied. The slit position and length can have a great impact not only on the vortex dynamical behavior but also the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the sample. Kinematic vortex lines can be predominated by the location of the slit. In the range of relatively low applied currents for a constant weak magnetic field, kinematic vortex line appears at right or left side of the slit by turns periodically. We found such single-side kinematic vortex line cannot lead to a jump in the I-V curve. At higher applied currents the phase-slip lines can be observed at left and right sides of the slit simultaneously. The competition between the vortex created at the lateral edge of the sample and the V-Av pair in the slit will result in three distinctly different scenarios of vortex dynamics depending on slit length: the lateral vortex penetrates the sample to annihilate the antivortex in the slit; the V-Av pair in the slit are driven off and expelled laterally; both the lateral vortex and the slit antivortex are depinned and driven together to annihilation in the halfway.

Keywords: vortex-antivortex pair phase-slip line current-voltage characteristic narrow slit
