Quasi-One-Dimensional Intermittent Flux Behavior in Superconducting Films

Abstract: Intermittent filamentary dynamics of the vortex matter in superconductors is found in films of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-deposited on tilted substrates. Deposition of this material on such substrates creates parallel channels of easy flux penetration when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the film. As the applied field is gradually increased, magneto-optical imaging reveals that flux penetrates via numerous quasi-one-dimensional jumps. The distribution of flux avalanche sizes follows a power law, and data coll… Show more

“…In Ref. [53], such penetration was observed in an YBCO film grown on a 14 • miscut NdGaO 3 substrate, and a power law was found for avalanche length distribution. Finite-size scaling and self-ordered criticality (SOC) were observed as well.…”

“…There is a certain amount of heating, but this is a non-dominant factor. In thin-film superconductors, they commonly appear as thin needle-like formations abruptly entering the sample from the edges [53]. Unlike thermomagnetic avalanches, they do not propagate beyond the critical state-like flux front, and their appearance does not seem to have threshold values for temperature or applied magnetic field.…”

“…30,31 However, unlike YBCO films, which had a well defined quasi periodic structure of planar defects, which gave rise to in-plane anisotropy of j c and channeling of vortices, NbN films are isotropic. The origin of such an ordering in isotropic NbN samples is not yet fully understood.…”

“…Both kinds of avalanches can occur in the same sample [28,29]. There is extensive experimental and numerical evidence that under some conditions, quantities measuring the size of dynamically driven vortex avalanches are distributed according to power-laws, and may also exibit finite-size scaling [3,24,25,30,32]. For a recent review of SOC experiments in granular media and superconductors, see ref.…”
