Quantum Phase in Nanoscopic Superconductors
Using the pseudospin representation and the SU(2) phase operators we introduce a complex parameter to characterize both infinite and finite superconducting systems. While in the bulk limit the parameter becomes identical to the conventional order parameter, in the nanoscopic limit its modulus reduces to the number parity effect parameter and its phase takes discrete values. We evaluate the Jose...
متن کاملLow-Temperature Upper-Critical-Field Anomalies in Clean Superconductors.
We interpret the upper-critical-field anomalies observed in some high-temperature superconductors as resulting from the proximity to a zero-temperature quantum critical point. We estimate the shape of the phase boundary between the normal and the superconducting phase by modeling the zerotemperature critical point as the second-order end point of the first-order melting line of the vortex latti...
متن کاملTheoretical modeling of critical temperature increase in metamaterial superconductors
Recent experiments have demonstrated that the metamaterial approach is capable of drastic increase of the critical temperature T c of epsilon near zero (ENZ) metamaterial superconductors. For example, tripling of the critical temperature has been observed in Al-Al 2 O 3 ENZ core-shell metamaterials. Here, we perform theoretical modelling of T c increase in metamaterial superconductors based on ...
متن کاملSpecific Heat of Superconductors near the Critical Temperature
In the past few years very precise specific-heat data (1) have been obtained for those superconducting elements for which the electronic contribution to the specific heat represents an appreciable fraction of the total specific heat at the transition temperature. These investigations have primarily been concerned with the functional dependence of the specific heat on temperature in order to com...
متن کاملKiloampere, Variable-Temperature, Critical-Current Measurements of High-Field Superconductors
We review variable-temperature, transport critical-current (I c) measurements made on commercial superconductors over a range of critical currents from less than 0.1 A to about 1 kA. We have developed and used a number of systems to make these measurements over the last 15 years. Two exemplary variable-temperature systems with coil sample geometries will be described: a probe that is only varia...
