Abstract :
[en] We study the instability of the superconducting state in a mesoscopic geometry for the low pinning material Mo3Ge characterized by a large Ginzburg-Landau parameter. We observe that in the current driven switching to the normal state from a nonlinear region of the Abrikosov flux flow, the mean critical vortex velocity reaches a limiting maximum velocity as a function of the applied magnetic fi eld. Based on time dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations we argue that the observed behavior is owed to the high velocity vortex dynamics confi ned on a mesoscopic scale. We build up a general phase diagram which includes all possible dynamic confi gurations of Abrikosov lattice in a mesoscopic superconductor.
