Abstract:
Bean-Livingston barrier for a single Abrikosov vortex interacting with the rough surface is calculated as a function of the random characteristics of the surface roughness. It has been shown that even a respectively smooth surface roughness results in an essential decrease of the Bean-Livingston surface barrier.
