Abstract
The electric and magnetic fields arising during uniform motion of a vortex lattice in a magnetic field oriented parallel to the conducting layers are calculated in an exactly solvable model. For low temperatures and high velocities of the lattice, features due to the excitation of plasma oscillations of the superconducting electrons appear in the current-voltage characteristic. Peaks associated with plasmon excitation and the Cherenkov effect are present in the radiation spectrum.
