With the high-temperature superconductors a qualitatively new regime in the
phenomenology of type-II superconductivity can be accessed. The key elements governing …

Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

The effects of thermal fluctuations, quenched disorder, and anisotropy on the phases and
phase transitions in type-II superconductors are examined, focusing on linear and nonlinear …

Kinetic interfaces form the basis of a fascinating, interdisciplinary branch of statistical
mechanics. Diverse stochastic growth processes can be unified via an intriguing nonlinear …

Current density, magnetic field, penetrated magnetic flux, and magnetic moment are
calculated analytically for a thin strip of a type-II superconductor carrying a transport current I …

An ensemble of nanoparticles in which the inter-particle magnetic interactions are
sufficiently weak shows superparamagnetic behaviour as described by the Néel–Brown …

Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in the form of Abrikosov vortices (also
called flux lines, flux tubes, or fluxons) each carrying a quantum of magnetic flux phi 0= h/2e …

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stable nanoscale particlelike objects that were
discovered in 2009. Since that time, intense research interest in the field has led to the …

A theory of vortex pinning in high-temperature superconductors by correlated disorder in the
form of twin boundaries, grain boundaries, and columnar defects is described. Map** …

We have studied the motion of a magnetic domain wall (MDW) driven by a magnetic field H
in a 2D ultrathin Pt/Co/Pt film showing perpendicular anisotropy and quenched disorder …
