On the effect of boundaries on confined vortex matter systems

In this thesis, we investigate the effects of boundaries on confined superconducting vortex matter systems. We are primarily interested in understanding the properties of the so-called `row-drop' transition in a density-driven, confined flow channel, reported by J. Watkins. We present numerical...
