摘要
The interaction of a macroscopic length of neutron vortex with a polycrystalline nuclear lattice can be simplified by a lattice potential density representation. Expressions are obtained for the weak-coupling time-averaged force on a moving vortex and, at very small velocities, for an approximate upper limit to the force for strong coupling between vortex and lattice. The force is too small to provide the minimum vortex pinning inferred from pulsar glitches.
