Abstract
The electrodynamic behavior of isotropic superconducting Nb films cooled below their critical temperature in the presence of in-plane applied magnetic fields is investigated using magneto-optical imaging. A specially designed local flux injector is used to show that the frozen-in in-plane vortices strongly guide and enhance the penetration of perpendicular vortices, whereas their penetration across the array of in-plane vortices is essentially unchanged. This result provides the key to understanding why field-cooled square superconducting films show anisotropic nucleation of flux avalanches (jumps) along the four edges. The explanation is based on an analytical model for thermomagnetic avalanche nucleation in type-II superconducting films, and allows one to understand the entire scenario of different flux dynamics observed experimentally.
