Abstract

An AC magnetic field can rotate a vortex-molecule composed of two fractional vortices in a multiband type of multicomponent superconductor, where two components couple with each other through the intercomponent Josephson interaction. It may directly relate to an abnormal AC loss peak, which we have found recently in the multilayer cuprate supercondutor CuxBa2Ca2Cu3Oy (Cu-1223).
