Inhomogeneity driven by Higgs instability in gapless superconductor
The fluctuations of the Higgs and pseudo Nambu-Goldstone fields in the 2SC phase with mismatched pairing are described in the nonlinear realization framework of the gauged Nambu–JonaLasinio model. In the gapless 2SC phase, not only Nambu-Goldstone currents can be spontaneously generated, but the Higgs field also exhibits instablity. The Nambu-Goldstone currents generation indicates the formatio...
متن کاملInstability of a gapless color superconductor with respect to inhomogeneous fluctuations
We systematically apply density functional theory to determine the kind of inhomogeneities that spontaneously develop in a homogeneous gapless phase of neutral two-flavor superfluid quark matter. We consider inhomogeneities in the quark and electron densities and in the phases and amplitude of the order parameter. These inhomogeneities are expected to lead the gapless phase to a BCSnormal coexi...
متن کاملAxion response in gapless systems.
The strong topological insulator in 3D is expected to realize a quantized magnetoelectric response, the so-called axion response. However, many of the materials predicted to be topological insulators have turned out to be metallic, with bulk Fermi surfaces. Following the result of Bergman and Refael [Phys. Rev. B 82, 195417 (2010)] that the surface states of the topological insulator persist ev...
متن کاملStability Conditions in Gapless Superconductors
Gapless superconductivity can arise when pairing occurs between fermion species with different Fermi surface sizes, provided there is a sufficiently large mismatch between Fermi surfaces and/or at sufficiently large coupling constant. In gapless states, secondary Fermi surfaces appear where quasiparticle excitation energy vanishes. This work focuses on homogeneous and isotropic superfluids in t...
متن کاملVacuum Instability and Refined Limits on the Higgs Meson Mass
Exact numerical computations of the decay of a metastable vacuum at zero temperature are presented and are used to calculate a lower bound for the Higgs mass. The dependence of the bound on the Weinberg mixing angle and on chiral symmetry breaking is analyzed. Submitted to Physics Letters * Work supported in part by the Department of Energy under contract DE-AC03-76SF00515, the National Science...
