Signatures 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...
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 کاملParity Effect in a mesoscopic superconducting ring
– We study a mesoscopic superconducting ring threaded by a magnetic flux when the single particle level spacing is not negligible. It is shown that, for a superconducting ring with even parity, the behavior of persistent current is equivalent to what is expected in a bulk superconducting ring. On the other hand, we find that a ring with odd parity shows anomalous behavior such as fluxoid quanti...
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 کاملPhase Transitions in Mesoscopic Superconducting Films
We solve the Ginzburg-Landau equation (GLE) for the mesoscopic superconducting thin film of the square shape in the magnetic field for the wide range of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter 0.05 < κeff < ∞. We found that the phase with the antivortex exists in the broad range of parameters. When the coherence length decreases the topological phase transition to the phase with the same total vorticity ...
