Abstract
Using Ginzburg-Landau theory, we have performed detailed studies of vortices in the presence of artificial defect arrays, for a thin-film geometry. We show that when a vortex approaches the vicinity of a defect, an abrupt transition occurs, in which the vortex core develops a “string” extending to the defect boundary, while simultaneously the supercurrents and associated magnetic flux spread out and engulf the defect. Current induced depinning of vortices is shown to be dominated by the core string distortion in typical experimental situations. Experimental consequences of this unusual depinning behavior are discussed.
