We study vortices’ responses heterogenous superconducting films, such a response could have potential applications such as microwave frequency generators, and superconducting vortex memory, using coupled nonlinear equations called time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations. Moreover, we also have interest in nonlinear phenomena called synchronization which occurs in vortex dynamics in square pattern of disorder, and a series of Josephson Junctions.
