Surface boundary conditions for the Ginzburg-Landau theory of d-wave superconductors.

چکیده
We calculate de Gennes’ extrapolation length for a d-wave superconductor near a surface within Fermiliquid theory. The extrapolation length depends critically on the orientation of the surface relative to the crystal axes and on the surface roughness. This sensitivity of the boundary conditions for a d-wave order parameter to surface conditions is not found in traditional s-wave superconductors, and is a signature of anisotropic pairing with a changing sign of the order parameter along the Fermi surface. de Gennes’ method is used to calculate the reduction of Tc in thin strips of high-Tc superconductors.

Some new exact traveling wave solutions one dimensional modified complex Ginzburg- Landau equation
In this paper, we obtain exact solutions involving parameters of some nonlinear PDEs in mathmatical physics; namely the one-dimensional modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation by using the $ (G'/G) $ expansion method, homogeneous balance method, extended F-expansion method.

By taking account of the complex relaxation times for sand d-wave order parameters in the time-dependent Ginzburg– Landau equations, our results indicate that the imaginary parts of the relaxation times can change the sign of the Hall angle for mixed sand d-wave superconductors. The effect of the concentration of the nonmagnetic impurities on the Hall angle is investigated, and it is found that...
متن کاملRelaxation and Thermal Conductivity of Hot and Thermal Quasiparticles and Fermi Liquid Interactions in d-wave Superconductors
In this paper, we calculate theoretically the relaxation rates of hot, thermal and antinodal quasiparticles by using Fermi’s golden rule. The transition probabilities at low temperatures express in terms of Bogoliubov coefficients, singlet and triplet scattering amplitudes and dimensionless Landau parameters. The values of Landau parameters may be determined by comparison with the experimental ...

The first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. In this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation.
متن کاملOrder in 2D nodal superconductors
A topological theory of d-wave superconductors is derived in this thesis. Ginzburg-Landau theory describes superconductivity by defining a complex order parameter and applying Landau’s theory for phase transitions. However, there is no local, gauge invariant order parameter for a superconductor and classical order is no appropriate description. Topological order has proven to be a powerful tool...
