Mixed states in ferromagnetic superconductors

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

A detailed study of the mixed state of the ferromagnetic rare-earth compounds RRh/sub 4/B/sub 4/, R/sub x/Mo/sub 6/S/sub 8/, and R/sub x/Mo/sub 6/Se/sub 6/ is presented. The saturation effect of the magnetic moments is taken into account. Depending on the parameters, there are many types of phase transitions between the type-II/2, type-II/1, and type-I mixed states and the paramagnetic Meissner state, ferromagnetic Meissner state, spin-periodic Meissner state, and the self-induced vortex state. It is predicted that the magnetization can exhibit a variety of unusual modes.
