Magnetic flux lines in complex geometry type-II superconductors studied by the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (Q634663): Difference between revisions

The main result of the present paper is concerned with the formation of a giant vortex in the framework of time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations. Initially, the giant vortex shed off single quantum flux lines that distribute equally throughout the superconductor. The giant vortex develops into an elongated structure and coexist with the single quantum magnetic fluxes. The computed energy patterns show that the dynamics of penetrating magnetic flux lines lead to a decrease of the interaction energies. The numerical simulations are based on a finite element algorithm.
