Released power in a vortex-antivortex pairs annihilation process

Abstract

In this paper, we studied the power dissipation process of a Shubnikov vortex-antivortex pair in a mesoscopic superconducting square sample with a concentric square defect in presence of an oscillatory external magnetic field. The time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations and the diffusion equation were numerically solved. The significant result is that the thermal dissipation is associated with a sizeable relaxation of the superconducting electrons, so that the power released in this kind of process might become calculated as a function of the time. Also, we analyzed the effect that the Ginbzurg-Landau κand deformation τparameters have on the magnetization, dissipate power and super-electrons density.
