Part I. Upper critical fields and spin states in A-15 superconductors. Part II. Vortices in two-dimensional superconductors. [Nb-Sn; V-Si]

Thesis/Dissertation Orlando, T P

I. The upper critical fields of niobium-tin and vanadium-silicon were measured and analyzed within the Ginzburg-Landau-Abrikosov-Gor'kov theory of type II superconductivity. The importance of many-body effects on the spin states of the superconductor is stressed, especially the renormalization of the Pauli paramagnetic limiting process. For niobium-tin failure to include renormalizations from the electronphonon interaction leads to too high spin-orbit scattering rates. For a similar A15 compounds vanadium-gallium failure to include renormalizations from the electron-electron interaction (spin-fluctuations and the related Stoner factor) leads to a measured upper critical field a zero temperature which is lower than theoretically allowed. Both of thesemore »« less
Time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau treatment of rf magnetic vortices in superconductors: Vortex semiloops in a spatially nonuniform magnetic field

Journal Article Oripov, Bakhrom ; Anlage, Steven M. - Physical Review E

We apply time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) numerical simulations to study the finite frequency electrodynamics of superconductors subjected to an intense rf magnetic field. Much recent TDGL work has focused on spatially uniform external magnetic fields and largely ignores the Meissner state screening response of the superconductor. In this paper, we solve the TGDL equations for a spatially nonuniform magnetic field created by a point magnetic dipole in the vicinity of a semi-infinite superconductor. A two-domain simulation is performed to accurately capture the effect of the inhomogeneous applied fields and the resulting screening currents. The creation and dynamics of vortex semiloops penetratingmore »« less

The ground state of two-dimensional electrons in a nonuniform magnetic field

Journal Article Dyugaev, A M ; Grigoriev, P. D. - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

An exact solution to the Schroedinger equation for the ground state of two-dimensional Pauli electrons in a nonuniform transverse magnetic field H is presented for two cases. In the first case, the field H depends on a single variable, H = H(y), while in the second case, the field is axially symmetric, H = H({rho}), {rho}{sup 2}=x{sup 2}+y{sup 2}. The electron density distributions n = n(y) and n = n({rho}) that correspond to a completely filled lower level are found. For quasiuniform fields of fixed sign, the functions n(y) and n({rho}) are locally related to the magnetic field: n(y) =more »« less

Experimental and semiempirical method to determine the Pauli-limiting field in quasi-two-dimensional superconductors as applied to κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2: strong evidence of a FFLO state

Journal Article Agosta, C C ; Jin, J ; Coniglio, W A ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We present upper critical field data for {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu(NCS){sub 2} with the magnetic field close to parallel and parallel to the conducting layers. We show that we can eliminate the effect of vortex dynamics in these layered materials if the layers are oriented within 0.3-inch of parallel to the applied magnetic field. Eliminating vortex effects leaves one remaining feature in the data that corresponds to the Pauli paramagnetic limit (H{sub p}). We propose a semiempirical method to calculate the H{sub p} in quasi-2D superconductors. This method takes into account the energy gap of each of the quasi-2D superconductors, which ismore »« less
