We have studied the flow properties of vortices driven through easy flow mesoscopic channels by means of the mode locking (ML) technique. We observe a ML jump with large voltage broadening in the real part of the rf-impedance. Upon approaching the pure dc flow by reducing the rf amplitude, the ML jump is smeared out via a divergence of the voltage width. This indicates a large spread in internal frequencies and lack of temporal coherence in the dc-driven state.

We study the behavior of vortex matter in artificial flow channels confined by pinned vortices in the channel edges (CEs). The critical current $J_s$ is governed by the interaction with static vortices in the CEs. We study structural changes associat
ed with (in)commensurability between the channel width $w$ and the natural row spacing $b_0$, and their effect on $J_s$. The behavior depends crucially on the presence of disorder in the CE arrays. For ordered CEs, maxima in $J_s$ occur at matching $w=nb_0$ ($n$ integer), while for $w eq nb_0$ defects along the CEs cause a vanishing $J_s$. For weak CE disorder, the sharp peaks in $J_s$ at $w=nb_0$ become smeared via nucleation and pinning of defects. The corresponding quasi-1D $n$ row configurations can be described by a (disordered)sine-Gordon model. For larger disorder and $wsimeq nb_0$, $J_s$ levels at $sim 30 %$ of the ideal lattice strength $J_s^0$. Around half filling ($w/b_0 simeq npm 1/2$), disorder causes new features, namely {it misaligned} defects and coexistence of $n$ and $n pm 1$ rows in the channel. This causes a {it maximum} in $J_s$ around mismatch, while $J_s$ smoothly decreases towards matching due to annealing of the misaligned regions. We study the evolution of static and dynamic structures on changing $w/b_0$, the relation between modulations of $J_s$ and transverse fluctuations and dynamic ordering of the arrays. The numerical results at strong disorder show good qualitative agreement with recent mode-locking experiments.
We observed mode-locking (ML) of rf-dc driven vortex arrays in a superconducting weak pinning a-NbGe film. The ML voltage shows the expected scaling $Vpropto fsqrt{B}$ with $f$ the rf-frequency and $B$ the magnetic field. For large dc-velocity (corre
sponding to a large ML frequency), the ML current step width exhibits a squared Bessel function dependence on the rf-amplitude as predicted for ML of a lattice moving elastically through a random potential.
The flow properties of confined vortex matter driven through disordered mesoscopic channels are investigated by mode locking (ML) experiments. The observed ML effects allow to trace the evolution of both the structure and the number of confined rows
and their match to the channel width as function of magnetic field. From a detailed analysis of the ML behavior for the case of 3-rows we obtain ({it i}) the pinning frequency $f_p$, ({it ii}) the onset frequency $f_c$ for ML ($propto$ ordering velocity) and ({it iii}) the fraction $L_{ML}/L$ of coherently moving 3-row regions in the channel. The field dependence of these quantities shows that, at matching, where $L_{ML}$ is maximum, the pinning strength is small and the ordering velocity is low, while at mismatch, where $L_{ML}$ is small, both the pinning force and the ordering velocity are enhanced. Further, we find that $f_c propto f_p^2$, consistent with the dynamic ordering theory of Koshelev and Vinokur. The microscopic nature of the flow and the ordering phenomena will also be discussed.
We analyze the structure of an $s-$wave superconducting gap in systems with electron-phonon attraction and electron-electron repulsion. Earlier works have found that superconductivity develops despite strong repulsion, but the gap, $Delta (omega_m)$,
necessarily changes sign along the Matsubara axis. We analyze the sign-changing gap function from a topological perspective using the knowledge that a nodal point of $Delta (omega_m)$ is the center of dynamical vortex. We consider two models with different cutoffs for the repulsive interaction and trace the vortex positions along the Matsubara axis and in the upper frequency half plane upon changing the relative strength of the attractive and repulsive parts of the interaction. We discuss how the presence of dynamical vortices affects the gap structure along the real axis, detectable in ARPES experiments.
We study the thermodynamics of ultrasmall metallic grains with the mean level spacing comparable or larger than the pairing correlation energy in the whole range of temperatures. A complete picture of the thermodynamics in such systems is given takin
g into account the effects of disorder, parity and classical and quantum fluctuations. Both spin susceptibility and specific heat turn out to be sensitive probes to detect superconducting correlations in such samples.
