Critical dynamics of a vortex-loop model for the superconducting transition.

چکیده
We calculate analytically the dynamic critical exponent z(MC), measured in Monte Carlo simulations for a vortex loop model of the superconducting transition, and account for the simulation results. In the weak screening limit, where magnetic fluctuations are neglected, the dynamic exponent is found to be z(MC) = 3/2. In the perfect screening limit, z(MC) = 5/2. We relate z(MC) to the actual value of z observable in experiments and find that z approximately 2, consistent with some experimental results.

Quantum Phase Transitions and Vortex Dynamics in Superconducting Networks
Josephson-junction arrays are ideal model systems to study a variety of phenomena such as phase transitions, frustration effects, vortex dynamics and chaos. In this review, we focus on the quantum dynamical properties of lowcapacitance Josephson-junction arrays. The two characteristic energy scales in these systems are the Josephson energy, associated with the tunneling of Cooper pairs between ...
متن کاملEffect of columnar disorder on the superconducting transition of a type-II superconductor in zero applied magnetic field
We investigate the effect of random columnar disorder on the superconducting phase transition of a type-II superconductor in zero applied magnetic field using numerical simulations of three dimensional XY and vortex loop models. We consider both an unscreened model, in which the bare magnetic penetration length is approximated as infinite, and a strongly screened model, in which the magnetic pe...
متن کاملDimensional crossover in a mesoscopic superconducting loop of finite width
Superconducting structures with the size of the order of the superconducting coherence length ξ(T ) have a critical temperature Tc, oscillating as a function of the applied perpendicular magnetic field H (or flux Φ). For a thin-wire superconducting loop, the oscillations in Tc are perfectly periodic with H (this is the well-known Little-Parks effect), while for a singly connected superconductin...

Nb/Cu superconducting superlattices have been fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering. This system shows a vortex glass transition with critical exponents similar to high temperatures super-conductors exponents. The transition dymensionality is governed by the superconducting coupling regime. The vortex glass transition shows a pure two dimensional behavior in decoupled superlat-tices and a quasi...
متن کاملCurrent-voltage scaling of a Josephson-junction array at irrational frustration.
Numerical simulations of the current-voltage characteristics of an ordered two-dimensional Josephson junction array at an irrational flux quantum per plaquette are presented. The results are consistent with an scaling analysis which assumes a zero temperature vortex glass transition. The thermal correlation length exponent characterizing this transition is found to be significantly different fr...
