Boson Mapping and Nonlinear Response of Type-II Superconductors
arXiv:cond-mat/9809283
Abstract
The vortices in a high-Tc superconductor with strong correlated pinning centers have been studied numerically using the mapping to charged bosons in two-dimensions(2D) and the Monte-Carlo algorithm. Considering the viscous dissipation of moving vortices we derived a nonlinear voltage response expression which describes different regimes and their crossover uniformly. This equation accords with experimental results.
