Abstract
We briefly review recent progress in the description of pinned vortex lattices (or other structures). The existence of at least two characteristic length scales is emphasized. Static (geometrical) correlation functions are discussed in connection with experiments. Some aspects of the dynamics of these pinned objects are also discussed: we mention in particular the possibility that non-stationary (aging) effects could occur, as in spin-glasses.

We shall assume that the “effective temperature” (i.e the temperature at which the system falls out of equilibrium and is frozen in) is sufficiently small so that the above results, strictly speaking valid at T = 0, still apply.

In the regime where dispersion is important, one finds : both the 2 D-3 D crossover and the dispersion of C44 push v towards 1/3.

Note that this length scale can be rather high: due to the large kink energy, dislocations are ‘flat’ over much more than 10 µ m in Si or Ge.

The features reported here are valid in the limit where the distance between vortices is larger than the layer spacing ao << A c .

In fact, the latter experimental data could be compatible with log V α cst—J α, with α,∼ 0.5, in the whole range of J.
