Guided vortex motion in superconductors with a square antidot array

AV Silhanek, L Van Look, S Raedts, R Jonckheere… - Physical Review B, 2003 - APS
We have measured the in-plane anisotropy of the vortex mobility in a thin Pb film with a
square array of antidots. The Lorentz force, acting on the vortices, was rotated by adding two …

Vortex ratchet effects in films with a periodic array of antidots

CC de Souza Silva, J Van de Vondel, BY Zhu… - Physical Review B …, 2006 - APS
The vortex ratchet effect has been studied in Al films patterned with square arrays of
submicron antidots. We have investigated the transport properties of two sets of samples:(i) …

Directional locking effects and dynamics for particles driven through a colloidal lattice

C Reichhardt, CJ Olson Reichhardt - … Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2004 - APS
We examine the dynamics of a single colloidal particle driven through a colloidal lattice
which can distort in response to the driven particle. We find a remarkably rich variety of …

Magnetic gates and guides for superconducting vortices

VK Vlasko-Vlasov, F Colauto, AI Buzdin, D Rosenmann… - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We image the motion of superconducting vortices in niobium film covered with a regular
array of thin permalloy strips. By altering the magnetization orientation in the strips using a …

Vortex-lattice dynamics with channeled pinning potential landscapes
