SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the predictability of abrikosov vortices in type-II superconductors, specifically in the context of modeling using FEMM 4.2 and COMSOL. Participants explore whether these vortices can be effectively modeled and understood through existing simulation tools. The conversation highlights the unique properties of abrikosov vortices, which allow type-II superconductors to levitate and adhere to magnets without direct contact.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of superconductivity, particularly type-II superconductors
  • Familiarity with abrikosov vortices and their properties
  • Knowledge of finite element method (FEM) simulations
  • Experience with FEMM 4.2 and COMSOL software
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the modeling capabilities of FEMM 4.2 for superconducting materials
  • Explore COMSOL Multiphysics for simulating magnetic fields in superconductors
  • Study the physics behind abrikosov vortices and their implications in superconductivity
  • Investigate current research on the predictability of vortex dynamics in type-II superconductors
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, materials scientists, and engineers interested in superconductivity, particularly those focused on modeling and understanding the behavior of type-II superconductors and their vortices.

What I mean by that - is it possible to model a system and somehow obtain them as a result? (in FEMM 4.2 or Comsol for example)

Or is their forming still not yet explored enough?

Could you give us some context?
Are you talking about vortices in a type II superconductor?

Here is his reply to my PM to him asking the same thing:

Sorry, I meant abrikosov vortices

Those are the things that make type-II superconductors not only levitate over magnets but also stick (without touching) to them.
