Structural transitions in vortex systems with anisotropic interactions
We introduce a model of vortices in type-II superconductors with a four-fold anisotropy in the vortex–vortex interaction potential. Using numerical simulations we show that the vortex lattice undergoes structural transitions as the anisotropy is increased, with a triangular lattice at low anisotropy...
