We investigate theoretically vortex-antivortex (v-av) matter moving in thin superconducting films with a regular array of in-plane magnetic dipoles. Our model considers v-av pair creation induced by the local current density generated by the magnetic texture and the transport current and simulates the dynamics of vortices and antivortices by numerical integration of the Langevin equation of motion. Calculations of the transport properties at zero applied field show a strong dependence of the v-av dynamics on the current intensity and direction. The dynamics of the v-av matter is characterized by a series of creation and annihilation processes, which reflect on the time dependence of the electrical field, and by guided motion, resulting in a zero-field transverse resistance.

Vortex dynamics in superconductors have received a great deal of attention from both fundamental and applied researchers over the past few decades. Because of its critical role in the energy relaxation process of type-II superconductors, vortex dynam
ics have been deemed a key contributor to the response rate of the emerging superconducting single photon detector (SSPD). With the support of electrical transport measurements under external magnetic fields, vortex dynamics in superconducting a-MoSi thin films are investigated in this work. It is ascertained that the vortex state changes from pinned to flux flow under the influence of the Lorentz force. The critical vortex velocity v* and quasi-particle inelastic scattering time {tau}* under different magnetic fields are derived from the Larkin-Ovchinnikov model. Under high magnetic fields, the v* power law dependence (v*~B-1/2) collapses, i.e., v* tends to zero, which is attributed to the obstruction of flux flow by the intrinsic defects, while the {tau}* increases with the increasing magnetic field strength. In addition, the degree of vortex rearrangement is found to be enhanced by photon-induced reduction in potential barrier, which mitigates the adverse effect of film inhomogeneity on superconductivity in the a-MoSi thin films. The thorough understanding of the vortex dynamics in a-MoSi thin films under the effect of external stimuli is of paramount importance for both further fundamental research in this area and optimization of SSPD design.
In submicron superconducting squares in a homogeneous magnetic field, Ginzburg-Landau theory may admit solutions of the vortex-antivortex type, conforming with the symmetry of the sample [Chibotaru et al., Nature 408, 833 (2000)]. Here we show that t
hese fascinating, but never experimentally observed states, can be enforced by artificial fourfold pinning, with their diagnostic features enhanced by orders of magnitude. The second-order nucleation of vortex-antivortex molecules can be driven either by temperature or applied magnetic field, with stable asymmetric vortex-antivortex equilibria found on its path.
The dynamics of vortices in type II superconductors exhibit a variety of patterns whose origin is poorly understood. This is partly due to the nonlinearity of the vortex mobility which gives rise to singular behavior in the vortex densities. Such sin
gular behavior complicates the application of standard linear stability analysis. In this paper, as a first step towards dealing with these dynamical phenomena, we analyze the dynamical stability of a front between vortices and antivortices. In particular we focus on the question of whether an instability of the vortex front can occur in the absence of a coupling to the temperature. Borrowing ideas developed for singular bacterial growth fronts, we perform an explicit linear stability analysis which shows that, for sufficiently large front velocities and in the absence of coupling to the temperature, such vortex fronts are stable even in the presence of in-plane anisotropy. This result differs from previous conclusions drawn on the basis of approximate calculations for stationary fronts. As our method extends to more complicated models, which could include coupling to the temperature or to other fields, it provides the basis for a more systematic stability analysis of nonlinear vortex front dynamics.
A vortex-antivortex (VA) dipole may be generated due to a spin-polarized current flowing through a nano-aperture in a magnetic element. We study the vortex dipole dynamics using the Landau-Lifshitz equation in the presence of an in-plane applied magn
etic field and a Slonczewski spin-torque term with in-plane polarization. We establish that the vortex dipole is set in steady state rotational motion. The frequency of rotation is due to two independent forces: the interaction between the two vortices and the external magnetic field. The nonzero skyrmion number of the dipole is responsible for both forces giving rise to rotational dynamics. The spin-torque acts to stabilize the vortex dipole motion at a definite vortex-antivortex separation distance. We give analytical and numerical results for the angular frequency of rotation and VA dipole features as functions of the parameters.
Strong pinning of superconducting flux quanta by a square array of 1 $mu$m-sized ferromagnetic dots in a magnetic-vortex state was visualized by low-temperature magnetic force microscopy (LT-MFM). A direct correlation of the superconducting flux line
s with the positions of the dots was derived. The force that the MFM tip exerts on the individual vortex in the depinning process was used to estimate the spatial modulation of the pinning potential. It was found, that the superconducting vortices which are preferably located on top of the Py dots experience about 15 times stronger pinning forces as compared to the pinning force in the pure Nb film. The strong pinning exceeds the repulsive interaction between the superconducting vortices and allows the vortex clusters to be located at each dot. Our microscopic studies are consistent with global magnetoresistace measurements on these hybrid structures.
