We study the intervortex interaction in thin films of layered superconductors for the magnetic field tilted with respect to the c axis. In such a case, the crossing lattice of Abrikosov vortices (AVs) and Josephson vortices appears. The interaction between pancake vortices, forming the AVs, with Josephson ones, produces the zigzag deformation of the AV line. This deformation induces a long-range attraction between Abrikosov vortices and, in thin films, it competes with another long-range interaction, i.e., with Pearl's repulsion. This interplay results in the formation of clusters of Abrikosov vortices, which can be considered as vortex molecules. The number of vortices in such clusters depends on field tilting angle and film thickness.< Réduire
