Topological defects such as vortices and phase slips in a superconductor system manifest spatial patterns and dynamics that are closely associated with the geometry of the system. Here, the authors investigate the topological transitions between vortex-chain and phase-slip transport regimes in curved superconductor nanostructures as a function of an applied magnetic field and how they impact on the magnetic-field-voltage and current-voltage characteristics.
