The ice-like vortex states in a nanostructured superconducting film with a dice lattice of elongated antidots

We study the degeneracy of the superconducting vortex ground state in a dice lattice of elongated antidots within the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory. It is found there are two kinds of unit cells in this dice lattice, namely z6 unit cell where six antibars meet and z3 unit cell where three antibars mee...
