Pulsars undergoing crustquake release strain energy, which can be absorbed in a small region inside the inner crust of the star and excite the free superfluid neutrons therein. The scattering of these neutrons with the surrounding pinned vortices may unpin a large number of vortices and effectively reduce the pinning force on vortex lines. Such unpinning by neutron scattering can produce glitches for Crab like pulsars and Vela pulsar of size in the range $\sim 10^{-8} - 10^{-7}$, and $\sim 10^{-9} - 10^{-8}$, respectively. Although we discuss here the crustquake initiated excitation, the proposal is very generic and equally applicable for any other sources, which can excite the free superfluid neutrons, or can be responsible for superfluid - normal phase transition of neutron superfluid in the inner crust of a pulsar.

由于地壳地震引发的中子激发和脉冲星故障引起的涡旋解除

发生地壳地震的脉冲星会释放应变能，这些应变能可以被恒星内壳内部的一个小区域吸收并激发其中的自由超流体中子。这些中子与周围钉扎涡旋的散射可以解除大量涡旋的钉扎并有效降低对涡旋线的钉扎力。这种通过中子散射进行的解除钉扎可能会为 Crab 型脉冲星和 Vela 脉冲星产生毛刺，其大小在 $\sim 10^{-8} - 10^{-7}$ 和 $\sim 10^{-9} - 10 范围内^{-8}$，分别。虽然我们在这里讨论地壳地震引发的激发，但该提议非常通用，同样适用于任何其他来源，可以激发自由超流体中子，或者可以负责脉冲星内壳中超流体 - 中子超流体的正常相变.
