Fluxuksesta

Fluxuksesta is a theoretical framework in condensed matter physics describing the controlled manipulation of magnetic flux in patterned nanoscale media, enabling selective transport of flux quanta and associated energy. The concept combines principles from vortex dynamics, flux pinning, and nanoscale lithography to create channels that steer flux lines along predetermined paths.

In a prototypical system, a type-II superconductor or a ferrimagnetic/ferromagnetic film is interlaced with a nanostructured pinning landscape. When external magnetic fields and currents are applied, flux quanta form vortices that interact with the engineered landscape. Fluxuksesta predicts regimes where vortices preferentially migrate along engineered corridors, while other regions remain relatively quiescent, thereby reducing overall dissipation.

Such controlled flux transport could improve superconducting electronics, energy storage devices, and spintronic architectures, where precise management of magnetic fields is crucial. It also offers a framework for reconfigurable circuitry in neuromorphic systems and low-noise magnetic sensors.

First proposed in theoretical work published in the mid-2010s, Fluxuksesta has since guided several experimental studies using lithographically patterned NbN and Mn-based films to realize channeling of flux. The field remains active, with ongoing debates about scalability and temperature stability.
