Vortex matter in mesoscopic superconductors
Superconducting mesoscopic devices in magnetic fields present novel properties which can only be accounted for by both the quantum confinement of the Cooper pairs and by the interaction between the magnetic-field-induced vortices. Sub-micrometer disks, much the same as their semiconductor counterparts known as quantum dots, are being subject to experimental investigation by measuring their cond...
متن کاملVortex phase separation in mesoscopic superconductors
We demonstrate that in mesoscopic type II superconductors with the lateral size commensurate with London penetration depth, the ground state of vortices pinned by homogeneously distributed columnar defects can form a hierarchical nested domain structure. Each domain is characterized by an average number of vortices trapped at a single pinning site within a given domain. Our study marks a radica...
متن کاملVortex Fluctuations in Superconductors
The vortex fluctuations have proved to be responsible for the onset of dissipation in thin type-II superconducting Aims. There is also growing evidence that dissipation in hightemperature superconductors exhibits the same kind of two-dimensional (2D) behavior. However, a proper analysis of these materials requires a thorough understanding of the two-dimensional fluctuations. This thesis may be ...
متن کاملVortex Matter in Mesoscopic Superconducting Disks and Rings
Phase transitions between different (i.e. giant and multi-vortex) superconducting states and between the superconducting-normal state of mesoscopic disks and rings are studied in the presence of an external magnetic field by solving the two non-linear Ginzburg-Landau equations self-consistently. The flux through a circular disk with a hole in the middle is not quantized.
متن کاملTunable quasiparticle trapping in Meissner and vortex states of mesoscopic superconductors.
Nowadays, superconductors serve in numerous applications, from high-field magnets to ultrasensitive detectors of radiation. Mesoscopic superconducting devices, referring to those with nanoscale dimensions, are in a special position as they are easily driven out of equilibrium under typical operating conditions. The out-of-equilibrium superconductors are characterized by non-equilibrium quasipar...
