| contents | Braking of pulsars, or the law of their spin deceleration, is a manifestation of the combination of various processes occurring in the magnetospheres of neutron stars and their internal structural dynamics. The interaction of superfluid neutron vortex lines with superconducting magnetic flux tubes in the neutron star core plays a significant role in rotational evolution and magnetic field evolution through spin glitches and magnetic flux expulsion. In this study, the effect of this interaction on the temporal variation of the braking index of pulsars is investigated. The variation of the deviation from the $n=3$ value predicted by the generally accepted magnetic dipole formula with respect to physical parameters such as the magnetic field and the age of the neutron star has been elaborated, and applications have been made to pulsars with reliably measured braking indices. |
