Journal ArticleDOI

Colloquium: Experiments in vortex avalanches

TL;DR: Avalanche dynamics are found in many phenomena, from earthquakes to the evolution of species as mentioned in this paper, and they can also be found in vortex matter when a type-II superconductor is externally driven, for example, by an increasing magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct observation of the current distribution in thin superconducting strips using magneto-optic imaging

TL;DR: Results on the behavior of the Bi-doped YIG film with in-plane anisotropy which the authors use as field indicator are presented, explaining why previous measurements of flux density profiles have displayed surprisingly large deviations from the expected behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic magnetic instability in superconducting MgB2 films

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that below 10 K the penetration of magnetic flux in MgB2 films is dominated by dendritic structures abruptly formed in response to an applied field, and that these structures show a temperature-dependent morphology ranging from quasi-1D at 4 K to large tree-like structures near 10 K.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic magnetic instability in superconducting MgB2 films

TL;DR: In this paper, magneto-opitcal studies of a c-oriented epitaxial MgB2 film show that below 10 K the global penetration of vortices is dominated by complex dendritic structures abruptly entering the film.
