Abstract
Here we summarize results from our study of the critical depinning current Jc versus the applied magnetic flux Φ, for: (i) quasiperiodic (QP) one-dimensional (1D) chains and (ii) 2D arrays of pinning centers placed on the nodes of a five-fold Penrose lattice. In 1D QP chains, the peaks in Jc(Φ) are determined by a sequence of harmonics of the long and short segments of the chain. The critical current Jc(Φ) has a remarkable self-similarity. In 2D QP pinning arrays, we predict analytically and numerically the main features of Jc(Φ), and demonstrate that the Penrose lattice of pinning sites provides an enormous enhancement of Jc(Φ), even compared to triangular and random pinning site arrays. This huge increase in Jc(Φ) could be useful for applications.
