Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of a disordered flux line lattice.
TL;DR: Flow behavior of a flux line lattice in the layered superconductor 2H-NbSe 2 is studied with a magnetic field parallel to the layers in the vicinity of a pronounced peak effect, yielding a nonequilibrium phase diagram where conventional depinning of an elastic medium occurs for a rigid lattice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic instabilities and memory effects in vortex matter

TL;DR: This model, which is derived from investigations of the current distribution across single crystals of NbSe2, is based on a competition between the injection of a disordered vortex phase at the sample edges, and the dynamic annealing of this metastable disorder by the transport current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Instabilities and disorder-driven first-order transition of the vortex lattice

TL;DR: These features are found to be absent in the Corbino geometry in which the circulating vortices do not cross the sample edges, which results in the commonly observed vortex instabilities and smearing of the peak effect in NbSe2 crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varieties of dynamics in a disordered flux-line lattice
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-equilibrium phase diagram of a flux-line lattice is constructed and a time-averaged velocity correlation length characterizes the spatial inhomogeneity of a moving FLL and thus distinguishes between various dynamical regimes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metastability and Glassy Behavior of a Driven Flux-Line Lattice.
TL;DR: The experiments show directly that the metastable state can be annealed into the “equilibrium” state by applying a current that depins the FLL, with strikingly large differences between their transport properties.
