Combination of reduced dimensionality with curved geometry in rolled-up superconductor micro- and nanotubes is a rich source of novel vortex dynamics [1,2]. Numerical modeling of a realistic finite-thickness Nb open microtube in a magnetic field orthogonal to the tube axis has been performed within the Ginzburg-Landau approach. An increase of thickness enhances the vortex-vortex interaction which results in a steady configuration with a reduced number of vortices and extends the upper magnetic field, at which the vortex dynamics occur, by a factor of two at least. This leads to new vortex dynamics as compared to the zero-thickness model. In particular, a regime is revealed where a configuration of vortices is fixed in the region far from the tube ends, while in the vicinity of the ends vortices nucleate at the top and bottom sides and then move toward each other until they annihilate as a vortex-antivortex pair.
The work was supported by the BMBF-Russia research grant 01DS13009.
