Spontaneous symmetry breaking in vortex systems with two repulsive lengthscales

Scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) has been used to study vortex structures in thin epitaxial films of the superconductor MgB[subscript 2]. Unusual vortex patterns observed in MgB[subscript 2] single crystals have previously been attributed to a competition between short-range repulsive and long-...
