[en] We have measured the in-plane anisotropy of the vortex mobility in a thin Pb film with a square array of antidots. The Lorentz force, acting on the vortices, was rotated by adding two perpendicular currents and keeping the amplitude of the net current constant. One set of voltage probes was used to detect the vortex motion. We show that the pinning landscape provided by the square antidot lattice influences the vortex motion in two different ways. First, the modulus of the vortex velocity becomes angular dependent with a lower mobility along the diagonals of the pinning array. Second, the vortex displacement is preferentially parallel to the principal axes of the underlying pinning lattice, giving rise to a misalignment between the vortex velocity and the applied Lorentz force. We show that this anisotropic vortex motion is temperature dependent and progressively fades out when approaching the normal state.

In the sample B, the misalignement between the applied current and the voltage contacts was significantly reduced by introducing lithographically defined voltage probes.

As we have shown previously, at this particular field (H = 10 G) a linear CVC is observed and therefore the principle of superposition of currents remains valid. This ensures that the actual angle of the net current coincides with the desired angle.
