Pearl, Appl. Phys. Lett. 5, 65 (1964). M. V.Milosevic and F.M. Peeters, Phys. Rev. B 68, (2003). 15
16 III. Our simulation on guided vortex motion B. Samples Parallel Ferromagnetic dot array (PFM) Anti-parallel Ferromagnetic dot array (AFM) Five typical directions: AB (x-direction), AC, BC, DE and DB 16
17 III. Our simulation on guided vortex motion C. Simulations: Magnetic dot array: with periodic boundary condition The sample size is 12λ λ The F vv from all other vortices are included because of their long-range character. A smoothed method is introduced here to deal with such interaction, which is of a look-up-table up to distance 100Λ by 0.04Λ step and an interpolation item for distance longer than 100Λ. H. Fangohr et al., J. Comput. Phys. 162, 372(2000) 17
18 III. Our simulation on guided vortex motion C. Simulations: The F vp from all magnetic dots is a short-range interaction. It decreases as r 4 at distances larger than the magnetic dot lattice constant a, and we use the cutoff assuming that the force is negligible for distances greater than 3.0. For PFM: Nv = = 156 For AFM: Nv = = 84 Moved (what we focus on) Pinned at the pinning centers 18
19 III. Our simulation on guided vortex motion C. Simulations: the vortices are randomly introduced first, and then we anneal the sample from an initial temperature (e.g., critical temperature Tc) to zero in 2500 steps and it remains constant at each step for 1000 molecular dynamic (MD) steps. Once the vortices are stable at zero temperature, we slowly increase the driving force F d along one of the five given directions (AB, AC, BC, DE, and DB), respectively, for both AFM and PFM configurations from 0 to 1.0 f 0 by f 0 every 1000 MD steps. We also calculate the velocity and position of each vortex and compute the average velocity in the x and y directions, at every MD step, and write out this average velocity in every 10 MD steps. 19

25 IV. Conclusions 1) In the absence of thermal fluctuations vortex motion in a superconducting film with periodic magnetic dot arrays is greatly dependent on the configuration of the magnetic dot array and the degree of the condensed pack. 2) Two easy directions exist for vortex motion in such system. 3) Due to the repulsive magnetic dots the vortex motion is guidable. Vortices always move along one of the two easy direction if the driving force is not strong enough. This guided vortex motion will disappear if only the driving force surpass a critical value and, then, all the vortices move back to the direction of the driving force. 4) For the traditional PFM configuration system we can also control vortex motion along an axis of the system. But this only happens at close pack case. 25
