Progress on the crystal growth and vortex dynamics of iron-based superconductors
Iron-based superconductors usually possess high upper-critical fields,small anisotropy,and large critical current density;therefore,they have potential applications in ultra-high field magnets,controllable fusion devices,and accelerators for high-energy particles.Investigation of vortex dynamics of superconductors can promote understanding of the physics of vortex matters and provide considerable technical support for fabricating high-performance superconducting materials.This paper first reviews several methods,such as melting,flux,chemical vapor transport,and hydrothermal methods,for fabricating single crystals of iron-based superconductors.In addition,the research development on the vortex lattice structures,flux pinning,and vortex dynamics of iron-based superconductors are reported.
