Abstract

The magnetic field of moving vortices in anisotropic superconductors is considered in the framework of the time-dependent London approach. It is found that, at distances large relative to the core size, the field may change sign that alludes to a nontrivial intervortex interaction which depends on the crystal anisotropy and on the speed and direction of motion. These effects are caused by the electric fields and corresponding normal currents which appear due to the moving vortex magnetic structure. We find that the motion related part of the magnetic field attenuates at large distances as 1/r3 unlike the exponential decay of the static vortex field. The electric field induced by the vortex motion decreases as 1/r2.
