We study the different dynamical regimes of a vortex lattice driven by AC forces in the presence of random pinning via numerical simulations. The behaviour of the different observables is charaterized as a function of the applied force amplitude for different frequencies. We discuss the inconveniences of using the mean velocity to identify the depinnig transition and we show that instead, the mean quadratic displacement of the lattice is the relevant magnitude to characterize different AC regimes. We discuss how the results depend on the initial configuration and we identify new hysteretic effects which are absent in the DC driven systems.

We study driven vortices lattices in superconducting thin films. Above the critical force $F_c$ we find two dynamical phase transitions at $F_p$ and $F_t$, which could be observed in simultaneous noise measurements of the longitudinal and the Hall vo ltage. At $F_p$ there is a transition from plastic flow to smectic flow where the voltage noise is isotropic (Hall noise = longitudinal noise) and there is a peak in the differential resistance. At $F_t$ there is a sharp transition to a frozen transverse solid where the Hall noise falls down abruptly and vortex motion is localized in the transverse direction.

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we report a study of the dynamics of two-dimensional vortex lattices driven over a disordered medium. In strong disorder, when topological order is lost, we show that the depinning transition is analogous to a se cond order critical transition: the velocity-force response at the onset of motion is continuous and characterized by critical exponents. Combining studies at zero and nonzero temperature and using a scaling analysis, two critical expo- nents are evaluated. We find vsim (F-F_c)^beta with beta=1.3pm0.1 at T=0 and F>F_c, and vsim T^{1/delta} with delta^{-1}=0.75pm0.1 at F=F_c, where F_c is the critical driving force at which the lattice goes from a pinned state to a sliding one. Both critical exponents and the scaling function are found to exhibit universality with regard to the pinning strength and different disorder realizations. Furthermore, the dynamics is shown to be chaotic in the whole critical region.
Large scale numerical simulations are used to study the elastic dynamics of two-dimensional vortex lattices driven on a disordered medium in the case of weak disorder. We investigate the so-called elastic depinning transition by decreasing the drivin g force from the elastic dynamical regime to the state pinned by the quenched disorder. Similarly to the plastic depinning transition, we find results compatible with a second order phase transition, although both depinning transitions are very different from many viewpoints. We evaluate three critical exponents of the elastic depinning transition. $beta = 0.29 pm 0.03$ is found for the velocity exponent at zero temperature, and from the velocity-temperature curves we extract the critical exponent $delta^{-1} = 0.28 pm 0.05$. Furthermore, in contrast with charge-density waves, a finite-size scaling analysis suggests the existence of a unique diverging length at the depinning threshold with an exponent $ u= 1.04 pm 0.04$, which controls the critical force distribution, the finite-size crossover force distribution and the intrinsic correlation length. Finally, a scaling relation is found between velocity and temperature with the $beta$ and $delta$ critical exponents both independent with regard to pinning strength and disorder realizations.
In this work we study by ac susceptibility measurements the evolution of the solid vortex lattice mobility under oscillating forces. Previous work had already shown that in YBCO single crystals, below the melting transition, a temporarily symmetric m agnetic ac field (e.g. sinusoidal, square, triangular) can heal the vortex lattice (VL) and increase its mobility, but a temporarily asymmetric one (e.g. sawtooth) of the same amplitude can tear the lattice into a more pinned disordered state. In this work we present evidence that the mobility of the VL is reduced for large vortex displacements, in agreement with predictions of recent simulations. We show that with large symmetric oscillating fields both an initially ordered or an initially disordered VL configuration evolve towards a less mobile lattice, supporting the scenario of plastic flow.
Fundamental and higher harmonics of the AC magnetic susceptibility have been measured on a LaO_0.92F_0.08FeAs sample as a function of the temperature, at various amplitudes and frequencies of the AC magnetic field, with a small superimposed DC field parallel to the AC field. The granularity of the sample has been investigated and the inter-grain and intra-grain contributions have been clearly individuated looking at both the first and third harmonics. The vortex dynamics has been also analyzed, and a comparison with the magnetic behavior of both the MgB_2 and the cuprate superconductors has been performed. Some vortex dissipative phenomena, i.e. the thermally activated flux flow and the flux creep, have been detected in the presented measurements, similar to what obtained on YBCO. Nevertheless, although the general behavior is similar, several differences have been also evidenced between these different classes of superconductors, mainly in the third harmonics. We infer that different vortex dynamics have to be included into the analysis of the magnetic response in this iron-based new material.
