Stable vortex crossing in layered superconductors

Stable vortex crossing in layered superconductors

We consider the stability of a stack of pancake vortices crossing a Josephson vortex in a layered superconductor. A metastable minimum only occurs for sufficiently extreme anisotropy and a wide enough layer spacing. This is quantified in terms of a critical ratio of the in-plane penetration depth an...

Zusammenfassung:We consider the stability of a stack of pancake vortices crossing a Josephson vortex in a layered superconductor. A metastable minimum only occurs for sufficiently extreme anisotropy and a wide enough layer spacing. This is quantified in terms of a critical ratio of the in-plane penetration depth and the Josephson length.
