Vortex phase separation in mesoscopic superconductors
We demonstrate that in mesoscopic type II superconductors with the lateral size commensurate with London penetration depth, the ground state of vortices pinned by homogeneously distributed columnar defects can form a hierarchical nested domain structure. Each domain is characterized by an average number of vortices trapped at a single pinning site within a given domain. Our study marks a radica...
متن کاملMesoscopic Phase Separation in Anisotropic Superconductors
General properties of anisotropic superconductors with mesoscopic phase separation are analysed. The main conclusions are as follows: Mesoscopic phase separation can be thermodynamically stable only in the presence of repulsive Coulomb interactions. Phase separation enables the appearance of superconductivity in a heterophase sample even if it were impossible in pure-phase matter. Phase separat...
متن کاملFlux Confinement in Mesoscopic Superconductors
We report on flux confinement effects in superconducting submicron line, loop and dot structures. The main idea of our study was to vary the boundary conditions for confinement of the superconducting condensate by taking samples of different topology and, through that, modifying the lowest Landau level ELLL(H). Since the critical temperature versus applied magnetic field Tc(H) is, in fact, ELLL...
متن کاملVortex matter in mesoscopic superconductors
Superconducting mesoscopic devices in magnetic fields present novel properties which can only be accounted for by both the quantum confinement of the Cooper pairs and by the interaction between the magnetic-field-induced vortices. Sub-micrometer disks, much the same as their semiconductor counterparts known as quantum dots, are being subject to experimental investigation by measuring their cond...
متن کاملStable periodic constant mean curvature surfaces and mesoscopic phase separation
We give a first comprehensive description of the stable solutions of the periodic isoperimetric problem in the case of lattice symmetry. This result is intended to elucidate the geometry of certain sophisticated interfaces appearing in mesoscale phase separation phenomena. We prove that closed, stable, constant mean curvature surfaces in R3/Γ , Γ ⊂ R3 being a discrete subgroup of translations w...
