چکیده
We consider the Landau theory of phase transitions for multiple superconducting phases in Th crystals. All possible phase transition sequences involving a single superconducting order parameter are found. These results may be applicable to PrOs4Sb12.

Electric andmagnetic characterization of NbSe2 single crystals: anisotropic superconducting fluctuations aboveTC
Electric and magnetic characterization of NbSe2 single crystals is first presented in detail. Then, some preliminary measurements of the fluctuation-diamagnetism (FD) above the transition temperature TC are presented. The moderate uniaxial anisotropy of this compound allowed us to observe the fluctuation effects for magnetic fields H applied in the two main crystallographic orientations. The su...
متن کاملAngular dependence of resistivity in the superconducting state of NdFeAsO0.82F0.18 single crystals
We report the results of angle dependent resistivity of NdFeAsO0.82F0.18 single crystals in the superconducting state. By doing the scaling of resistivity within the frame of the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory, it is found that the angle dependent resistivity measured under different magnetic fields at a certain temperature can be collapsed onto one curve. As a scaling parameter, the anisot...
متن کاملExperimental evidence for a two-band superconducting state of NbSe2 single crystals
We report on measurements and a detailed analysis of the reversible magnetization of superconducting NbSe2 single crystals. By comparing the experimental data with Ginzburg Landau theory we show that superconductivity in NbSe2 cannot be explained by an anisotropic single-band but by a multiband scenario. Applying a simple two-band model reveals the basic mixed-state parameters, which are quite ...
متن کاملDynamics of disordered quantum Hall crystals
Charge density waves are thought to be common in two-dimensional electron systems in quantizing magnetic ,elds. Such phases are formed by the quasiparticles of the topmost occupied Landau level when it is partially ,lled. One class of charge density wave phases can be described as electron solids. In weak magnetic ,elds (at high Landau levels) solids with many particles per unit cell—bubble pha...
متن کاملLandau theory of the reentrant nematic-smectic A phase transition
The reentrant, nematic to smectic A phase transition is shown to follow from the Landau theory if one assumes the existence of an optimum density for smectic ordering. The shape of the coexistence line in the P-T plane is fit exactly by this theory. The effects of concentration on reentrant behaviour are also explained.
