Understanding the interaction of vortices with inclusions in type-II superconductors is a major outstanding challenge both for fundamental science and energy applications. At application-relevant scales, the long-range interactions between a dense configuration of vortices and the dependence of their behavior on external parameters, such as temperature and an applied magnetic field, are all important to the net response of the superconductor. Capturing these features, in general, precludes analytical description of vortex dynamics and has also made numerical simulation prohibitively expensive. Here we report on a highly optimized iterative implicit solver for the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations suitable for investigations of type-II superconductors on massively parallel architectures. Its main purpose is to study vortex dynamics in disordered or geometrically confined mesoscopic systems. In this work, we present the discretization and time integration scheme in detail for two types of boundary conditions. We describe the necessary conditions for a stable and physically accurate integration of the equations of motion. Using an inclusion pattern generator, we can simulate complex pinning landscapes and the effect of geometric confinement. We show that our algorithm, implemented on a GPU, can provide static and dynamic solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations for mesoscopically large systems over thousands of time steps in a matter of hours. Using our formulation, studying scientifically-relevant problems is a computationally reasonable task.

We study the Hall effect in square, planar type-II superconductors using numerical simulations of time dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equations. The Hall field in some type-II superconductors displays sign-change behavior at some magnetic fields due to the induced field of vortex flow, when its contribution is strong enough to reverse the field direction. In this work, we use modified TDGL equations which couple an externally applied current, and also incorporate normal-state and flux-flow Hall effects. We obtain the profile of Hall angle as a function of applied magnetic field for four different sizes (ltimes l) of the superconductor: l/ xi belongs to {3, 5, 15, 20}. We obtain vastly different profiles for each size, proving that size is an important parameter that determines Hall behavior. We find that electric field dynamics provides an insight into several anomalous features including signchange of Hall angle, and leads us to the precise transient behavior of order parameter responsible for them.
We have extended Brandts method for accurate, efficient calculations within Ginzburg-Landau theory for periodic vortex lattices at arbitrary mean induction to lattices of doubly quantized vortices.
The contributions of superconducting fluctuations to the specific heat of dirty superconductors are calculated, including quantum and classical corrections to the `usual leading Gaussian divergence. These additional terms modify the Ginzburg criterion, which is based on equating these fluctuation-generated contributions to the mean-field discontinuity in the specific heat, and set limits on its applicability for materials with a low transition temperature.
A feed-forward neural network has a remarkable property which allows the network itself to be a universal approximator for any functions.Here we present a universal, machine-learning based solver for multi-variable partial differential equations. The algorithm approximates the target functions by neural networks and adjusts the network parameters to approach the desirable solutions.The idea can be easily adopted for dealing with multi-variable, coupled integrodifferential equations, such as those in the self-consistent field theory for predicting polymer microphase-separated structures.
We generalize Hedin equations to a system of superconducting electrons coupled with a system of phonons. The electrons are described by an electronic Pauli Hamiltonian which includes the Coulomb interaction among electrons and an external vector and scalar potential. We derive the continuity equation in the presence of the superconducting condensate and point out how to cast vertex corrections in the form of a non-local effective interaction that can be used to describe both fluctuations of spin and superconducting phase beyond the screened Coulomb self-energy diagram.
