Abstract

The driven state of a well-ordered flux line lattice in a single crystal of 2H−NbSe2 in the time domain has revealed the presence of substantial fluctuations in velocity, with large and distinct time periods (∼seconds). A superposition of a periodic drive in the driven vortex lattice causes distinct changes in these fluctuations. We propose that prior to the onset of the peak effect there exists a heretofore unexplored regime of coherent dynamics, with unexpected behavior in velocity fluctuations.
