As a result of experimental studies of the single-crystal iron-chalcogenide compound FeTe0.65Se0.35, the effect of structural transitions caused by hydrogen sorption on the magnetic and current-carrying properties of a superconductor has been established. An increase in the volume-averaged effective pinning potential (and the associated critical current density) after the process of hydrogen sorption at temperatures up to 150 {deg}C - 200 {deg}C can be explained by the appearance of additional pinning centers due to the local action of implanted H ions on its crystal structure and electronic states. It was confirmed that hydrogenation is an efficient tool for increasing flux pining properties of superconductors.

The magnetization anisotropy of a layered superconductor FeTe0.65Se0.35 sample is experimentally studied in a magnetic field directed either along the layers of the plane, or perpendicular to them. The value of the vortex pinning potential in a weak magnetic field, and the critical current density ratio are determined for these directions. The results are discussed within the framework of presenting the sample as layers of fine single crystals, divided by weak interlayer superconducting bonds with magnetic inclusions.
In this report, we comprehensively study the effect of H$^+$ irradiation on the critical current density, $J_c$, and vortex pinning in FeSe single crystal. It is found that the value of $J_c$ for FeSe is enhanced more than twice after 3-MeV H$^+$ irradiation. The scaling analyses of the vortex pinning force based on the Dew-Hughes model reveal that the H$^+$ irradiation successfully introduce point pinning centers into the crystal. We also find that the vortex creep rates are strongly suppressed after irradiation. Detailed analyses of the critical current dependent pinning energy based on the collective creep theory and extend Maleys method show that the H$^+$ irradiation enhances the value of $J_c$ before the flux creep, and also reduces the size of flux bundle, which will further reduce the field dependence of $J_c$ due to vortex motion.
m-H loops for virgin and neutron irradiated bulk and powder samples of MgB_{2} were measured in the temperature range 5-30 K in magnetic field B<= 1 T. The irradiation at thermal neutron fluences 9*10^{13} and 4.5*10^{14} cm^{-2} caused very small enhancement of m-H loops at lower temperatures (T<20 K), whereas the effect at high temperatures was unclear due to difficulty in achieving exactly the same measurement temperature prior and after irradiation. However, the irradiation at 4.5*10^{15} cm^{-2} produced clear enhancement of m-H loops (hence J_{c}) at all investigated temperatures, which provides the evidence for the enhancement of flux pinning in MgB_{2} due to ion tracks resulting from n+^{10}B reaction. The potential of this technique for the enhancement of flux pinning in high temperature superconductors is briefly discussed.
The elementary vortex pinning potential is studied in a chiral p-wave superconductor with a pairing d=z(k_x + i k_y) on the basis of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity. An analytical investigation and numerical results are presented to show that the vortex pinning potential is dependent on whether the vorticity and chirality are parallel or antiparallel. Mutual cancellation of the vorticity and chirality around a vortex is physically crucial to the effect of the pinning center inside the vortex core.
We use local and global magnetometry measurements to study the influence of magnetic domain width w on the domain-induced vortex pinning in superconducting/ferromagnetic bilayers, built of a Nb film and a ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, with an insulating layer to eliminate proximity effect. The quasi-periodic domain patterns with different and systematically adjustable width w, as acquired by a special demagnetization procedure, exert tunable vortex pinning on a superconducting layer. The largest enhancement of vortex pinning, by a factor of more than 10, occurs when w ~ 310 nm is close to the magnetic penetration depth.
