Abstract

The effect of planar defects on the Magnus force in type-II superconductors is studied. It is shown that the deformation of the vortex due to the presence of a pla- nar defect leads to a local decrease in the mean free path of electrons in the vortex. This effect reduces the effec- tive Magnus coefficient in normal direction to the planar defect, leading to an anisotropic regime of the Hall effect. The presented developments here can qualitatively explain experimental observations of the anisotropic Hall effect in high-Tc superconductors in the mixed state.
