Magnetic response of mesoscopic superconducting rings with two order parameters.
The magnetic response and fluxoid transitions of superconducting aluminum rings of various sizes, deposited under conditions likely to generate a layered structure, show good agreement with a two-order-parameter Ginzburg-Landau model. For intermediate couplings, we find metastable states that have different phase winding numbers around the ring in each of the two order parameters. Those states,...
متن کاملFluxoid fluctuations in mesoscopic superconducting rings
Superconducting rings represent an ideal system for studying phase coherence in one dimension. We study the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of superconducting rings with a scanning superconducting quantum interference device. The physical parameters of the rings were designed to reduce the superconducting phase stiffness. We observe a suppression of the susceptibility sign...
متن کاملDeterministic phase slips in mesoscopic superconducting rings
The properties of one-dimensional superconductors are strongly influenced by topological fluctuations of the order parameter, known as phase slips, which cause the decay of persistent current in superconducting rings and the appearance of resistance in superconducting wires. Despite extensive work, quantitative studies of phase slips have been limited by uncertainty regarding the order paramete...
متن کاملMesoscopic rings : two - fluid model
Kinetics of magnetic flux in the thin mesoscopic ring biased by an external magnetic flux exhibits the ratchet-like behavior. The 'flux velocity', i.e. the averaged time derivative of magnetic flux produced by the ring, is a candidate for a novel characteristics of mesoscopic rings. Its global properties reflect the possibility of accommodating persistent currents in the ring. 1 Mesoscopic ring...
متن کاملSignatures of topological phase transitions in mesoscopic superconducting rings
We investigate Josephson currents in mesoscopic rings with a weak link which are in or near a topological superconducting phase. As a paradigmatic example, we consider the Kitaev model of a spinless p-wave superconductor in one dimension, emphasizing how this model emerges frommore realistic settings based on semiconductor nanowires. We show that the flux periodicity of the Josephson current pr...
