Quantitative investigation of the de Haas-van Alphen effect in the superconducting state

چکیده
The de Haas-van Alphen effect in the vortex state of the type-II superconductors 2H-NbSe2 and V3Si is studied. We discuss the experimental and theoretical considerations pertaining to the observation of such oscillations. Macroscopic pinning of the flux lattice cannot explain the observed attenuation of quantum oscillations in the mixed state. A critical comparison of our measurements with the various microscopic theoretical models describing this phenomenon is made. We show how orientation-dependent de Haas-van Alphen data may be analyzed in a model-dependent way to yield the variation of the superconducting gap over the Fermi surface. @S0163-1829~98!06418-2#

De Haas-van Alphen effect in two- and quasi two-dimensional metals and superconductors
An analytical form of the quantummagnetization oscillations (de Haas-van Alphen effect) is derived for twoand quasi two-dimensional metals in normal and superconducting mixed states. The theory is developed under condition μ/ωc ≫ 1 (μ is the chemical potential and ωc the cyclotron frequency), which is proved to be valid for using grand canonical ensemble in the systems of low dimensionality. Ef...
متن کاملA Damping of the de Haas-van Alphen Oscillations in the superconducting state
– Deploying a recently developed semiclassical theory of quasiparticles in the superconducting state we study the de Haas-van Alphen effect. We find that the oscillations have the same frequency as in the normal state but their amplitude is reduced. We find an analytic formulae for this damping which is due to tunnelling between semiclassical quasiparticle orbits comprising both particle-like a...

We report measurements of the de Haas–van Alphen ~DHVA! effect and ac susceptibility in the layered organic superconductor k-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2.The amplitude of the DHVA oscillations is attenuated over a wide field range above the irreversibility line, B irr(B), below which a rigid flux lattice is formed. Thus the DHVA effect provides a unique probe of the superconducting fluctuations at high ...
متن کاملde Haas–van Alphen effect in superconductors
A theory of the de Haas–van Alphen effect in type-II superconductors is proposed. The effect of the electron scattering by nonmagnetic impurities in a magnetic field in the potential produced by a nonuniform distribution of the order parameter in a mixed state is investigated. The magnitude of the order parameter and quasiparticle density of states are determined from the solution of the system...
