Energy Asymptotics for Type Ii Superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the Ginzburg-Landau functional in the parameter regime describing ‘Type II superconductors’. In the exact regime considered minimizers are localized to the boundary i.e. the sample is only superconducting in the boundary region. Depending on the relative size of different parameters we describe the concentration behavior and give leading order energy asymptotics. This generalizes previous results by Lu and Pan, Helffer and Pan, and Pan.

Vortex pinning by inhomogeneities in type-II superconductors
The methods of formal matched asymptotics are used to examine the motion of a curvilinear vortex in an inhomogeneous type-II superconducting material in the limit as the vortex core radius tends to zero. The resulting law of motion indicates that the logarithm of the equilibrium density of the superconducting electrons acts as a pinning potential for the vortex, so that vortices will be attract...
متن کاملField-induced quasiparticle excitations in novel type II superconductors
We show that the field dependence of the magnetic penetration depth (λ), for which muon spin rotation (μSR) is an excellent microscopic probe, provides useful information on the degree of anisotropy for the superconducting order parameter. In type II superconductors associated with anisotropic order parameters, λ is sensitive to the quasiparticle excitation induced by the Doppler shift due to a...
متن کاملGrowth of a vortex polycrystal in type II superconductors.
We discuss the formation of a vortex polycrystal in type II superconductors from the competition between pinning and elastic forces. We compute the elastic energy of a deformed grain boundary, which is strongly nonlocal, and obtain the depinning stress for weak and strong pinning. Our estimates for the grain size dependence on the magnetic field strength are in good agreement with previous expe...
متن کاملAbsence of dipole transitions in vortices of type-II superconductors.
The response of a single vortex to a time dependent field is examined microscopically and an equation of motion for vortex motion at non-zero frequencies is derived. Of interest are frequencies near ∆/EF , where ∆ is the bulk energy gap and EF is the fermi energy. The low temperature, clean, extreme type II limit and maintaining of equilibrium with the lattice are assumed. A simplification occu...
متن کاملΓ-stability and Vortex Motion in Type Ii Superconductors
We consider a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation for superconductors with a strictly complex relaxation parameter, and derive motion laws for the vortices in the case of a finite number of vortices in a bounded magnetic field. The motion laws correspond to the flux-flow Hall effect. As our main tool, we develop a quantitative Γstability result relating the Ginzburg-Landau energy to the ren...
