Oscillatory dynamics of a superconductor vortex lattice in high amplitude ac magnetic fields

We study by ac susceptibility measurements the evolution of the solid vortex lattice mobility under oscillating forces. It has already been shown that in YBCO single crystals, below the melting transition, a temporarily symmetric magnetic ac field (e.g., sinusoidal, square, triangular) can heal the...
