Achievements in roll-up technique make it possible to fabricate cylindrical tubes of superconducting materials (e. g., Nb) of radius about 500 nm from a planar film of thickness about 50 nm, where the quasi-2-dimensionality of the film is combined with a curvature. The vortex dynamics in open tubes are significantly determined by the curvature of the superconductor at the nano- or microscale as well as by the impact of single and multiple pinning centers. The presence of the pinning centers allows for an efficient control over the threshold value of the transport current (for emergence of vortex dynamics) and the transition magnetic field (separating sparse- and many-vortex regimes).The detection of the tube curvature effects on vortex dynamics suggested in [1] stays feasible in the presence of pinning centers. This work was partly supported by the IEEE Council on Superconductivity.
