2 00 1 Semiclassical theory of quasiparticles in the superconducting state
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a semiclassical approach to solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations for superconductors. It is based on the study of classical orbits governed by an effective Hamiltonian corresponding to the quasiparticles in the superconducting state and includes an account of the Bohr-Sommerfeld quanti-sation rule, the Maslov index, torus quantisation, topological phases arising from lines of phase singularities (vortices), and semiclassical wave functions for multi-dimensional systems. The method is illustrated by studying the problem of an SNS junction and a single vortex.

A Damping of the de Haas-van Alphen Oscillations in the superconducting state
– Deploying a recently developed semiclassical theory of quasiparticles in the superconducting state we study the de Haas-van Alphen effect. We find that the oscillations have the same frequency as in the normal state but their amplitude is reduced. We find an analytic formulae for this damping which is due to tunnelling between semiclassical quasiparticle orbits comprising both particle-like a...

In spatial dimensions d ≥ 2, Kondo lattice models of conduction and local moment electrons can exhibit a fractionalized, non-magnetic state (FL∗) with a Fermi surface of sharp electron-like quasiparticles, enclosing a volume quantized by (ρa − 1)(mod 2), with ρa the mean number of all electrons per unit cell of the ground state. Such states have fractionalized excitations linked to the deconfin...

In this paper, we investigate the coherent quantum transport in grapheme-based ferromagnet-superconductor-ferromagent junctions within the framework of BCS theory using DBdG quasiparticles equation .The coherency with the finite size of superconductor region has two characteristic features subgap electron transport and oscillations of differential conductance. we show that periodic vanishing of...
متن کاملDAMPING OF COLLECTIVE MODES AND QUASIPARTICLES IN d-WAVE SUPERCONDUCTORS
The two-dimensional d-wave superconducting state of the high temperature superconductors has a number of different elementary excitations: the spin-singlet Cooper pairs, the spin S = 1/2 fermionic quasiparticles, and a bosonic S = 1 resonant collective mode, φα, at the antiferromagnetic wavevector. Although the φα quanta are strongly coupled to the gapped quasiparticles near the (π, 0), (0, π) ...

We show how an effective field theory of long distance QCD, describing a dual superconductor, can be expressed as an effective string theory of superconducting vortices. We evaluate the semiclassical expansion of this effective string theory about a classical rotating string solution in any spacetime dimension D. We show that, after renormalization, the zero point energy of the string fluctuati...
