Memory effects in response functions of driven vortex matter

arXiv:cond-mat/0101065 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2002-00466-6

Abstract

Vortex flow in driven type II superconductors shows strong memory and history dependent effects. Here, we study a schematic microscopic model of driven vortices to propose a scenario for a broad set of these kind of phenomena ranging from ``rejuvenation'' and ``stiffening'' of the system response, to ``memory'' and ``irreversibility'' in I-V characteristics.
