Abstract
In weakly pinning type-II superconductors the vortex lattice can flow coherently under the action of a Lorentz force. This type of collectiv e vortex motion in a random potential is manifested by channeling of t he vortex flow along preferred paths which are stable in time.We prese nt direct experimental observations of such vortex flow ''channels'' o btained with magnetic decoration experiments on NbSe2 single crystals.
