Interaction of linear waves and moving Josephson vortex lattices in layered superconductors

Abstract

A general phenomenological theory describing dynamics of Josephson vortices coupled to wide class of linear waves in layered high-T$_c$ superconductors is developed. The theory is based on hydrodynamic long wave approximation and describes interaction of vortices with electromagnetic, electronic and phonon degrees of freedom on an equal footing. In the limiting cases the proposed theory degenerates to simple models considered earlier. In the framework of the suggested model we undertook the numerical simulation of resistive state in layered superconductors placed in external magnetic field and demonstrate excitation of linear waves of various origin by a moving vortex lattice, manifesting in existence of resonances on current-voltage characteristics.
