We present detailed experimental and theoretical investigations of hotspots produced by trapped vortex bundles and their effect on the radio-frequency (rf) surface resistance $R_s$ of superconductors at low temperatures. Our measurements of $R_s$ combined with the temperature mapping and laser scanning of a 2.36 mm thick Nb plate incorporated into a 3.3 GHz Nb resonator cavity cooled by the superfluid He at 2 K, revealed spatial scales and temperature distributions of hotspots and showed that they can be moved or split by thermal gradients produced by the scanning laser beam. These results, along with the observed hysteretic field dependence of $R_s$ which can be tuned by the scanning laser beam, show that the hotspots in our Nb sample are due to trapped vortex bundles which contain $sim 10^6$ vortices spread over regions $sim 0.1-1$ cm. We calculated the frequency dependence of the rf power dissipated by oscillating vortex segments trapped between nanoscale pinning centers, taking into account all bending modes and the nonlocal line tension of the vortex driven by rf Meissner currents. We also calculated the temperature distributions caused by trapped vortex hotspots, and suggested a method of reconstructing the spatial distribution of vortex dissipation sources from the observed temperature maps. Vortex hotspots can dominate the residual surface resistance at low temperatures and give rise to a significant dependence of $R_s$ on the rf field amplitude $H_p$, which can have important implications for the rf resonating cavities used in particle accelerators and for thin film structures used in quantum computing and photon detectors.
We theoretically study the dependence of the quasiparticle (QP) scattering rate $varGamma$ on the uniaxial anisotropy of a Fermi surface with changing the magnetic field angle $alpha_{rm M}$. We consider the QP scattering due to the non-magnetic impu
Microwave-field distribution, dissipation, and surface impedance are theoretically investigated for superconductors with laminar grain boundaries (GBs). In the present theory we adopt the two-fluid model for intragrain transport current in the grains
The low temperature surface resistance R_s of d-wave superconductors is calculated as function of frequency assuming normal state quasiparticle mean free paths l in excess of the penetration depth. Results depend strongly on the geometric configurati
In the superconducting regime of FeTe$_{(1-x)}$Se$_x$, there exist two types of vortices which are distinct by the presence or absence of zero energy states in their core. To understand their origin, we examine the interplay of Zeeman coupling and su
We numerically study the effect of non-magnetic impurities on the vortex bound states in noncentrosymmetric systems. The local density of states (LDOS) around a vortex is calculated by means of the quasiclassical Greens function method. We find that
