Vortices and the Ginzburg - Landau phase transition 1
The methods for studying the role of vortex loops in the phase transition of the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity using lattice Monte Carlo simulations are discussed. Gauge-invariant observables that measure the properties of the vortex loop distribution are defined. The exact relations between the lattice and continuum quantities make it possible to extrapolate the results of the si...
متن کاملQuantum Phase Transitions Beyond the Landau-Ginzburg Paradigm and Supersymmetry
We make connections between studies in the condensed matter literature on quantum phase transitions in square lattice antiferromagnets, and results in the particle theory literature on abelian supersymmetric gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. In particular, we point out that supersymmetric U(1) gauge theories (with particle content similar, but not identical, to those of theories of doped antife...
متن کاملGinzburg-Landau model with small pinning domains
We consider a Ginzburg-Landau type energy with a piecewise constant pinning term a in the potential (a − |u|). The function a is di erent from 1 only on nitely many disjoint domains, called the pinning domains. These pinning domains model small impurities in a homogeneous superconductor and shrink to single points in the limit ε → 0; here, ε is the inverse of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter. We s...
متن کاملDynamic Ginzburg-Landau Theory for the Liquid-Solid Phase Transition
The anisotropv of the probability distribution function for the unit vector joining two nearest neighbour atoms is characterized by tensorial order parameters. For cubic symmetry, the most relevant tensor is of rank 4. Starting from an ansatz for the dependence of the (specific) internal energy, volume and entropy; the entropy production is calculated which is caused by a temporial change of th...
متن کاملAnalysis and Approximation of the Ginzburg-Landau Model of Superconductivity
The authors consider the Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity. First some well-known features of superconducting materials are reviewed and then various results concerning the model, the resultant differential equations, and their solution on bounded domains are derived. Then, finite element approximations of the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations are considered and error estimat...
