Abstract

Taking into account pinning, thermal fluctuations, and vortex-vortex interactions, we develop a unified theory to explain the sign reversal of the mixed-state Hall resistivity ρxy in both high-Tc and low-Tc superconductors. Molecular dynamics simulations show that besides the pinning forces, either the thermal fluctuations in the high-Tc superconductors or the vortex-vortex interactions in the low-Tc ones play an important role in the sign reversal of ρxy. From a calculated phase diagram for vortex motion, we find that the abnormal Hall effect always occurs in the plastic flow state of vortices.
