Abstract

A deformable superconductor model for the vortex mass per unit length μd in a type-II superconductor is discussed. A new identity for the inertial vortex mass in this model is presented which holds for an arbitrary quasiparticle fraction when the ionic displacement is irrotational. This result is used to show unphysical behavior in the temperature dependence of the ionic-strain-field vortex mass and is key in resolving this difficulty. A possibility for the experimental observation of the strain field mechanism is discussed.
