We show that asymmetrical mesoscopic superconductors bring new insight into vortex physics, where we found the remarkable coexistence of long and short vortices. We study an asymmetrical mesoscopic sphere that lacks one of its quadrants, and obtain its three-dimensional vortex patterns by solving the Ginzburg-Landau theory. We find that the vortex patterns are asymmetric, and their effects are clearly visible and detectable in the transverse magnetization and torque.
