Simulation study for the orientation of the driven vortex lattice in an amorphous superconductor

We investigate the orientation of the vortex lattice driven by an applied current by means of numerical simulations based on the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau (TDGL) theory. A lattice order is restored by a current driving of vortices under the influence of random vortex pinnings. The orientation of the moving vortex lattice is different between the presence and the absence of vortex pinnings. We show results of TDGL simulations for these phenomena.
