The Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition
Matter in the universe is organised in a hierarchical structure. At the bottom we have elementary particles: quarks, gluons, electrons etc. At present we don’t know what these particles are made off. But we believe we know that quarks, gluons etc. make up protons, neutrons, etc. These then go together to make atoms, that are the building blocks of molecules. Atoms and molecules gives us gas, li...
متن کاملFluctuations in Superconductors using Landau-Ginzburg Theory
In this paper, we study the fluctuations in superconductors in the framework of Landau-Ginzurg theory. First, we review the formulation of LG theory and derive the LG equations. The we calculate the fluctuation contribution to the saddle point heat capacity, both inside and outside the immediate vicinity of the transition point. Outside the immediate vicinity, we follow the Gaussian integral ca...
متن کاملA LANDAU-GINZBURG DESCRIPTION OF Sb OVERLAYERS
The spin polarization of Sb overlayers on the semi-Heusler alloy NiMnSb is investigated in terms of the Landau-Ginzburg approach. The half-metallic semi-Heusler alloy NiMnSb acts as a ferromagnetic perturbation and induces a spin polarization in the semimetallic Sb overlayer. Using a Gaussian approximation, the propagation of the spin perturbation in the overlayer is calculated. The results are...
متن کاملContinuous Ginzburg–Landau description of layered superconductors
The behaviour of the order parameter and its effects in intrinsically-layered superconductors are studied within a continuous Ginzburg–Landau model. A simple model of interlayer coupling is proposed in which we suggest that the coupling strength between superconducting and insulating layers may be qualitatively described by a reciprocal of a difference between the order parameters at the respec...
متن کاملExact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation by the first integral method
The first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. In this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation.
