Numerical Simulation Evidence of Dynamical Transverse Meissner Effect and Moving Bose Glass Phase

Abstract

We present 3D numerical simulation results of moving vortex lattices in the presence of 1D correlated disorder at zero temperature. Our results with field tilting confirm the theoretical predictions of a moving Bose glass phase, characterized by transverse pinning and dynamical transverse Meissner effect, the moving flux lines being localized along the correlated disorder direction. Beyond a critical transverse field, vortex lines exhibit along all their length a "kink" structure resulting from an effective static "tin roof" pinning potential in the transverse direction.

Stability of the moving Bose glass phase at finite temperature

Yaouen Fily, E Olive, Jean-Claude Soret

We present 3D numerical simulation results for driven vortex lattices in presence of weak random columnar disorder at finite temperature and high driving force. A moving Bose glass phase is expected theoretically, characterized by a flow along rough static channels and dynamical transverse Meissner effect, the moving flux lines being localized along the correlated disorder direction. We find the moving Bose glass phase to be stable in a large range of temperature and velocity. Moreover, we confirm the existence of an effective static pinning potential in the tranverse direction, previously observed in zero temperature simulations, and leading to a "kink" structure of the vortex lines beyond a critical transverse field.

A FUNCTIONAL RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACH TO SYSTEMS WITH LONG-RANGE CORRELATED DISORDER

Andrei A. Fedorenko

We studied the statics and dynamics of elastic manifolds in disordered media with long-range correlated disorder using functional renormalization group (FRG). We identified different universality classes and computed the critical exponents and universal amplitudes describing geometric and velocity-force characteristics. In contrast to uncorrelated disorder, the statistical tilt symmetry is broken resulting in a nontrivial response to a transverse tilting force. For instance, the vortex lattice in disordered superconductors shows a new glass phase whose properties interpolate between those of the Bragg and Bose glasses formed by pointlike and columnar disorder, respectively. Whereas there is no response in the Bose glass phase (transverse Meissner effect), the standard linear response expected in the Bragg-glass gets modified to a power law response in the presence of disorder correlations. We also studied the long distance properties of the O(N) spin system with random fields and random anisotropies correlated as 1/x^{d-sigma}. Using FRG we obtained the phase diagram in (d,sigma,N)-parameter space and computed the corresponding critical exponents. We found that below the lower critical dimension 4+sigma, there can exist two different types of quasi-long-range-order with zero order-parameter but infinite correlation length.

Competition between columnar pins and vortex screening: A doubly reentrant phase diagram

Ajay Nandgaonkar, D. G. Kanhere, Nandini Trivedi

We study the phase diagram of flux lines in superconductors with columnar pins. Based on numerical exact diagonalization simulations on small clusters, we get two phases of vortices: A low-temperature pinned glass with diverging tilt modulus and a high-temperature delocalized entangled vortex liquid. For random potential disorder we find a new phase transition temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{BG}}$ from a pinned Bose glass to an entangled liquid that reduces with increasing vortex density. This occurs primarily because vortices screen the disorder potential and generate an effective weaker random potential with increasing vortex density. For a fixed fraction of randomly placed attractive columnar pins, we find a Mott-insulating phase when the vortex density exactly matches the density of pins at the matching field ${B=B}_{\ensuremath{\varphi}}.$ We also find a transition from a strongly pinned Bose glass for $B<{B}_{\ensuremath{\varphi}}$ to a weakly pinned Bose glass for $B>{B}_{\ensuremath{\varphi}}$ as the vortex density is varied.

Vortex Glass Transition in a Random Pinning Model

Anders Vestergren, Jack Lidmar, Mats Wallin

We study the vortex glass transition in disordered high temperature superconductors using Monte Carlo simulations. We use a random pinning model with strong point-correlated quenched disorder, a net applied magnetic field, long-range vortex interactions, and periodic boundary conditions. From a finite size scaling study of the helicity modulus, the rms current, and the resistivity, we obtain critical exponents at the phase transition. The new exponents differ substantially from those of the gauge glass model, but are close to those of the pure three-dimensional XY model.

Critical Behavior of the Meissner Transition in the Lattice London Superconductor

Peter Olsson, Stephen Teitel

We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the three dimensional (3D) lattice London superconductor in zero applied magnetic field, making a detailed finite size scaling analysis of the Meissner transition. We find that the magnetic penetration length $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ and the correlation length $\ensuremath{\xi}$ scale as $\ensuremath{\lambda}\ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\xi}\ensuremath{\sim}|t{|}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\nu}}$, with $\ensuremath{\nu}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.66\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03$, consistent with ordinary 3D $\mathrm{XY}$ universality, ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\mathrm{XY}}\ensuremath{\approx}2/3$. Our results confirm the anomalous scaling dimension of magnetic field correlations at ${T}_{c}$.

Critical properties of Bose-glass superconductors

Jack Lidmar, Mats Wallin

We study vortex lines in high-temperature superconductors with columnar defects produced by heavy-ion irradiation. We reconsider scaling theory for the Bose-glass transition with tilted magnetic fields, and propose, e.g. , a new scaling form for the shape of the Bose glass phase boundary, which is relevant for experiments. We also consider Monte Carlo simulations for a vortex model with a screened interaction. Critical exponents are determined from scaling analysis of Monte Carlo data for current-voltage characteristics and other quantities. The dynamic critical exponent is found to be z = 4.6 ± 0.3.
