Vortex nucleation barriers and stable fractional vortices near boundaries in multicomponent superconductors

The magnetization process of a superconductor is determined by the potential barrier for vortex nucleation and escape. In multicomponent superconductors, fractional vortices with a winding in the phase of only one of the components can be stable topological solitons that carry a fraction of the flux...
