Figure 1.

Schematic illustration of a superconducting nanostripe with width w, length L, and thickness d along the x, y, and z directions, respectively, in a homogeneous out-of-plane applied magnetic field, $\mathbf{H}$. The SN contains an example of a single vortex, with a normal core of radius $\sim \xi$, and a distribution of magnetic field around it characterised by $\mathrm{\Lambda }$. When a current density $\mathbf{J}$ is sourced, the vortex will experience the Lorentz force, ${\mathbf{F}}_L$.
