Quasi-local action of curl-less vector potential on vortex dynamics in superconductors.

Studies of the Abrikosov vortex motion in superconductors based on time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equations reveal an opportunity to detect the values of the Aharonov–Bohm type curl-less vector potentials without closed-loop electron trajectories encompassing the magnetic flux.
