Thermal fluctuations and vortex lattice structures in chiral p -wave superconductors: Robustness of double-quanta vortices

نویسندگان

چکیده

We use large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations to study thermal fluctuations in chiral $p$-wave superconductors an applied magnetic field three dimensions. consider the stability of previously predicted unusual double-quanta flux-line lattice ground states such superconductors. In previous works it was shown that, neglecting fluctuations, a superconductor forms hexagonal doubly-quantized vortices, except extremely close vicinity ${H}_{c2}$ where vortices split apart. find dissociation driven by fluctuations. However, our calculations also show that predictions were ignored, are very robust considered model.

Properties of skyrmions and multi-quanta vortices in chiral p-wave superconductors

Chiral p-wave superconducting state supports a rich spectrum of topological excitations different from those in conventional superconducting states. Besides domain walls separating different chiral states, chiral p-wave state supports both singular and coreless vortices also interpreted as skyrmions. Here, we present a numerical study of the energetic properties of isolated singular and coreles...

Effect of thermal fluctuations in topological p-wave superconductors

We study the effect of thermal fluctuations on the topological stability of chiral p-wave superconductors. We consider two models of superconductors: spinless and spinful with a focus on topological properties and Majorana zero-energy modes. We show that proliferation of vortex-antivortex pairs above the Kosterlitz-Thouless temperature TKT drives the transition from a thermal Quantum Hall insul...

Vortex lattice transition in D-wave superconductors

Making use of the extended Ginzburg Landau theory, which includes the fourth order derivative term, we study the vortex state in a magnetic field parallel to the c axis. The vortex core structure is distorted due to this higher order term, which reveals the fourfold symmetry. Further, this distortion gives rise to the core interaction energy, which favors a square lattice tilted by 45 from the ...

Vortex Fluctuations in Superconductors

The vortex fluctuations have proved to be responsible for the onset of dissipation in thin type-II superconducting Aims. There is also growing evidence that dissipation in hightemperature superconductors exhibits the same kind of two-dimensional (2D) behavior. However, a proper analysis of these materials requires a thorough understanding of the two-dimensional fluctuations. This thesis may be ...

Stability of the vortex lattice in D-wave superconductors

Use is made of Onsager’s hydrodynamic equation to derive the vibration spectrum of the vortex lattice in d-wave superconductor. In particular the rhombic lattice (i.e. the 45 tilted square lattice) is found to be stable for B > Hcr(t). Here Hcr(t) denotes the critical field at which the vortex lattice transition takes place. Typeset using REVTEX 1 Since the discovery of the triangular vortex la...
