Pinning and Depinning of the Bragg Glass in a Point Disordered Model Superconductor
Peter Olsson
Abstract
The three-dimensional frustrated anisotropic XY model with point disorder is studied with both Monte Carlo simulations and resistively-shunted-junction dynamics to model the dynamics of a type-II superconductor with quenched point pinning in a magnetic field and a weak applied current. Both the collective pinning and the depinning of the Bragg glass is examined. We find a critical current Ic that separates a creep region with unmeasurable low voltage from a region with a voltage V I-Ic, and also identify the mechanism behind this behavior. It is further found to be possible to collapse the data obtained at a fixed disorder strength by plotting the voltage versus TI, where T is the temperature, though the reason for this behavior is unclear.
