Pairing in Inhomogeneous Superconductors

Starting from a t-J model, we introduce inhomogeneous terms to mimic stripes. We find that if the inhomogeneous terms break the SU(2) spin symmetry the binding between holes is tremendously enhanced in the thermodynamic limit. In any other model (including homogeneous models) the binding in the thermodynamic limit is small or neglible. By including these inhomogeneous terms we can reproduce exp...

History effect in inhomogeneous superconductors

A model was proposed to account for a new kind of history effect in the transport measurement of a sample with inhomogeneous flux pinning coupled with flux creep. The inhomogeneity of flux pinning was described in terms of alternating weak pinning (lower j c) and strong pinning region (higher j c). The flux creep was characterized by logarithmic barrier. Based on this model, we numerically obse...

Models for Enhanced Absorption in Inhomogeneous Superconductors

We discuss the low-frequency absorption arising from quenched inhomogeneity in the superfluid density ρs of a model superconductor. Such inhomogeneities may arise in a high-Tc superconductor from a wide variety of sources, including quenched random disorder and static charge density waves such as stripes. Using standard classical methods for treating randomly inhomogeneous media, we show that b...

Thermodynamic transitions in inhomogeneous d-wave superconductors

We study the spectral and thermodynamic properties of inhomogeneous d-wave superconductors within a model where the inhomogeneity originates from atomic-scale pair disorder. This assumption has been shown to be consistent with the small charge and large gap modulations observed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x. Here we calculate the specific heat within the same model, and ...

Effect of inhomogeneous coupling on BCS superconductors

We investigate the influence of inhomogeneity in the pairing coupling constant U r on dirty BCS superconductors, focusing on Tc, the order parameter r , and the energy gap Eg r . Within mean-field theory, we find that when the length scale of the inhomogeneity is comparable to or larger than the coherence length, the ratio 2Eg /Tc is significantly reduced from that of a homogeneous superconduct...
