Flux Pinning

Flux Pinning is a physical phenomenon in superconducting materials wherein quantized magnetic flux lines are immobilized by defects or inhomogeneities in the material’s structure, thereby preventing their motion under applied currents or magnetic fields and enhancing the material’s critical current density.
