Abstract
We have investigated the lattice orientation of driven vortex matter in amorphous MoGe films. Mode locking experiments in the flux flow state reveal that in addition to the theoretically predicted lattice orientation parallel to the flow direction also the perpendicular orientation occurs. Mapping out the orientations in a phase diagram, the perpendicular orientation is found to dominate the phase diagram covering a wide field and temperature range. Scanning tunneling microscopy images of the vortex lattice frozen from the flux flow state confirm the switching between parallel and perpendicular orientations in the phase diagram. The effect is possibly caused by the influence of the sample edge.
