Stop-and-go Kinetic Neutron Scattering of Current-driven Vortex Clusters
Applying a sufficiently high current to a type-II superconductor filled with vortices can depin the vortex lattice resulting in the flux flow state. The elemental superconductor Niobium is found on the verge between type I and II and exhibits the intermediate mixed state, where the sample is only partially filled with vortices. The applied current is constrained to these areas resulting in an interesting topological scenario when a current is applied. Our SANS experiments have shown that a sufficiently high current reorganises this two domain structure into stripes in the direction of vortex flow. What has not been explored so far is the timescale on which this rearrangement process occurs. With this experiment we aim to fill this gap by making using of a stop-and-go approach to reach sub-millisecond time resolution.
