From the Mendeleev periodic table to particle physics and back to the periodic table

We briefly describe in this paper the passage from Mendeleev’s chemistry (1869) to atomic physics (in the 1900’s), nuclear physics (in the 1932’s) and particle physics (from 1953 to 2006). We show how the consideration of symmetries, largely used in physics since the end of the 1920’s, gave rise to a new format of the periodic table in the 1970’s. More specifically, this paper is concerned with...

Entangling Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism

Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism

We study the structure of symmetric vortices in a Ginzburg–Landau model based on S. C. Zhang’s SO(5) theory of high temperature superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. We consider both a full Ginzburg–Landau theory (with Ginzburg–Landau scaling parameter κ < ∞) and a κ → ∞ limiting model. In all cases we find that the usual superconducting vortices (with normal phase in the central core regio...

Itinerant Ferromagnetism and Superconductivity

Superconductivity has again become a challenge following the discovery of unconventional superconductivity. Resistance-free currents have been observed in heavy-fermion materials, organic conductors and copper oxides. The discovery of superconductivity in a single crystal of UGe2, ZrZn2 and URhGe revived the interest in the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism. The experiments in...
