β¦ Synopsis
The methods of formal matched asymptotics are used to examine the motion of a curvilinear vortex in an inhomogeneous type-II superconducting material in the limit as the vortex core radius tends to zero. The resulting law of motion indicates that the logarithm of the equilibrium density of the superconducting electrons acts as a pinning potential for the vortex, so that vortices will be attracted by impurities in the superconducting material.

The resistive properties of thin NbO, films above and below H~2 were investigated experimentally, it was shown that in thin amorphous films the vortex pinning appears much below H~> The position of the vortex pinning appearance moves up to He2 with film thickness increase and pinning value increase.
