At zero magnetic field we have observed an electromagnetic radiation from superconductors subjected by a transverse elastic wave. This radiation has an inertial origin, and is a manifestation of the acoustic Stewart-Tolman effect. The effect is used for implementing a method of measurement of an effective Magnus force in type II superconductors. The method does not require the flux flow regime and allows to investigate this force for almost the whole range of the existence of the mixed state. We have studied behavior of the gyroscopic force in nonmagnetic borocarbides and Nb. It is found that in borocarbides the sign of the gyroscopic force in the mixed state is the same as in the normal state, and its value (counted for one vortex of unit length) has only a weak dependence on the magnetic field. In Nb the change of sign of the gyroscopic force under the transition from the normal to the mixed state is observed.

We consider the effect of nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities on the superheating field $H_s$ in a type-II superconductor. We solved the Eilenberger equations, which take into account the nonlinear pairbreaking of Meissner screening currents, and cal
culated $H_s(T)$ for arbitrary temperatures and impurity concentrations in a single-band s-wave superconductor with a large Ginzburg-Landau parameter. At low temperatures nonmagnetic impurities suppress a weak maximum in $H_s(T)$ which has been predicted for the clean limit, resulting instead in a maximum of $H_s$ as a function of impurity concentration in a moderately clean limit. It is shown that nonmagnetic impurities weakly affect $H_s$ even in the dirty limit, while magnetic impurities suppress both $H_s$ and the critical temperature $T_c$. The density of quasiparticles states $N(epsilon)$ is strongly affected by an interplay of impurity scattering and current pairbreaking. We show that a clean superconductor at $H=H_s$ is in a gapless state, but a quasiparticle gap $epsilon_g$ in $N(epsilon)$ at $H=H_s$ appears as the concentration of nonmagnetic impurities increases. As the nonmagnetic scattering rate $alpha$ increases above $alpha_c=0.36$, the quasiparticle gap $epsilon_g(alpha)$ at $H=H_s$ increases, approaching $epsilon_gapprox 0.32Delta_0$ in the dirty limit $alphagg 1$, where $Delta_0$ is the superconducting gap parameter at zero field. The effects of impurities on $H_s$ can be essential for the nonlinear surface resistance and superconductivity breakdown by strong RF fields.
A review is given on the theory of vortex-glass phases in impure type-II superconductors in an external field. We begin with a brief discussion of the effects of thermal fluctuations on the spontaneously broken U(1) and translation symmetries, on the
global phase diagram and on the critical behaviour. Introducing disorder we restrict ourselves to the experimentally most relevant case of weak uncorrelated randomness which is known to destroy the long-ranged translational order of the Abrikosov lattice in three dimensions. Elucidating possible residual glassy ordered phases, we distinguish betwee positional and phase-coherent vortex glasses. The discussion of elastic vortex glasses, in two and three dimensions occupy the main part of our review. In particular, in three dimensions there exists an elastic vortex-glass phase which still shows quasi-long-range translational order: the `Bragg glass. It is shown that this phase is stable with respect to the formation of dislocations for intermediate fields. Preliminary results suggest that the Bragg-glass phase may not show phase-coherent vortex-glass order. The latter is expected to occur in systems with weak disorder only in higher dimensions. We further demonstrate that the linear resistivity vanishes in the vortex-glass phase. The vortex-glass transition is studied in detail for a superconducting film in a parallel field. Finally, we review some recent developments concerning driven vortex-line lattices moving in a random environment.
In order to characterize flux flow through disordered type-II superconductors, we investigate the effects of columnar and point defects on the vortex velocity / voltage power spectrum in the driven non-equilibrium steady state. We employ three-dimens
ional Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations to measure relevant physical observables including the force-velocity / current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, vortex spatial arrangement and structure factor, and mean flux line radius of gyration. Our simulation results compare well to earlier findings and physical intuition. We focus specifically on the voltage noise power spectra in conjunction with the vortex structure factor in the presence of weak columnar and point pinning centers. We investigate the vortex washboard noise peak and associated higher harmonics, and show that the intensity ratios of the washboard harmonics are determined by the strength of the material defects rather than the type of pins present. Through varying columnar defect lengths and pinning strengths as well as magnetic flux density we further explore the effect of the material defects on vortex transport. It is demonstrated that the radius of gyration displays quantitatively unique features that depend characteristically on the type of material defects present in the sample.
Using large scale Monte Carlo simulations on a uniformly frustrated 3DXY model, we report a first order vortex lattice melting transition in clean, isotropic extreme type-II $kappa to infty$ superconductors. This work clarifies an important issue: th
e unpinned vortex liquid is always incoherent with no phase coherence in any directions for all anisotropies. Previous claims of a disentangled vortex liquid for isotropic superconductors based on simulations, are due to finite size effects. We explicitly show that the effective vortex-line tension vanishes precisely at the superconducting phase transition in zero magnetic field. This loss of line tension is accompanied by an abrupt change in the connectivity of the vortex tangle across the superconductor. We also obtain results indicating that the connectivity of the vortex tangle changes in a similar way even in finite magnetic field, and suggest that this could also be associated with a genuine phase-transition.
The existence of a {it stable critical point}, separate from the Gaussian and XY critical points, of the Ginzburg-Landau theory for superconductors, is demonstrated by direct extraction via Monte-Carlo simulations, of a negative anomalous dimension $
eta_{phi}$ of a complex scalar field $phi$ forming a dual description of a neutral superfluid. The dual of the neutral superfluid is isomorphic to a charged superfluid coupled to a massless gauge-field. The anomalous scaling dimension of the superfluid order-field is positive, while we find that the anomalous dimension of the dual field is negative. The dual gauge-field does not decouple from the dual complex matter-field at the critical point. {it These two critical theories represent separate fixed points.} The physical meaning of a negative $eta_{phi}$ is that the vortex-loop tangle of the superfluid at the critical point fills space {it more} efficiently than random walkers, {it without collapsing}. This is due to the presence of the massless dual gauge-field, and the resulting long-ranged {it vectorial} Biot-Savart interaction between vortex-loop segments, which is a relevant perturbation to the steric $|psi|^4$ repulsion term. Hence, the critical dual theory is not in the universality class of the $|psi|^4$-theory.
