Spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry in superconductors.
We show that homogeneous superconductors with broken spin/isospin symmetry lower their energy via a transition to a novel superconducting state where the Fermi surfaces are deformed to a quasiellipsoidal form at zero total momentum of Cooper pairs. In this state, the gain in the condensation energy of the pairs dominates over the loss in the kinetic energy caused by the lowest order (quadrupole...
متن کاملRotational Symmetry Breaking in Multi-Matrix Models
We consider a class of multi-matrix models with an action which is O(D)-invariant, where D is the number of N × N Hermitian matrices Xμ, μ = 1, . . . , D. The action is a function of all the elementary symmetric functions of the matrix Tμν = Tr(XμXν)/N . We address the issue whether the O(D) symmetry is spontaneously broken when the size N of the matrices goes to infinity. The phase diagram in ...
متن کاملSurface topography and rotational symmetry breaking.
The surface electroclinic effect, which is a rotation of the molecular director in the substrate plane proportional to an electric field E applied normal to the substrate, requires both a chiral environment and C(2) (or lower) rotational symmetry about E. The two symmetries typically are created in tandem by manipulating the surface topography, a process that conflates their effects. Here we us...
متن کامل( 2 ) Symmetry Breaking Vs . Vortex Loop Percolation
We study with lattice Monte Carlo simulations the relation of global O(2) symmetry breaking in three dimensions to the properties of a geometrically defined vortex loop network. We find that different definitions of constructing a network lead to different results even in the thermodynamic limit, and that with typical definitions the percolation transition does not coincide with the thermodynam...
متن کاملSpontaneous symmetry breaking in vortex systems with two repulsive lengthscales
Scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) has been used to study vortex structures in thin epitaxial films of the superconductor MgB2. Unusual vortex patterns observed in MgB2 single crystals have previously been attributed to a competition between short-range repulsive and long-range attractive vortex-vortex interactions in this two band superconductor; the type 1.5 superconductivity scenario. Our...
