Tilt Modulus and Angle-Dependent Flux Lattice Melting in the Lowest Landau Level Approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
For a clean high-Tc superconductor, we analyze the Lawrence-Doniach free energy in a tilted magnetic field within the lowest Landau level (LLL) approximation. The free energy maps onto that of a strictly c-axis field, but with a reduced interlayer coupling. We use this result to calculate the tilt modulus C44 of a vortex lattice and vortex liquid. The vortex contribution to C44 can be expressed in terms of the squared c-axis Josephson plasmon frequency ω2 pl. The transverse component of the field has very little effect on the position of the melting curve.

Flux-lattice melting in artificially layered superconductors.
We apply a previously described lowest-Landau-level formalism to treat flux-lattice melting in artificially layered superconductors, using Monte Carlo methods. For a pin-free layered system, the model predicts a single phase transition with simultaneous ordering both within one layer and between layers. The melting curve calculated using this model agrees reasonably well with experiments of Koo...
متن کاملLangevin vortex dynamics for a layered superconductor in the lowest-Landau-level approximation
We have numerically investigated the dynamics of vortices in a clean layered superconductor placed in a perpendicular magnetic field. We describe the energetics using a Ginzburg-Landau free-energy functional in the lowest-Landau-level approximation. The dynamics are determined using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau approximation, and thermal fluctuations are incorporated via a Langevin term. ...

Thermodynamics of type II superconductors in electromagnetic field based on the Ginzburg Landau theory is presented. The Abrikosov flux lattice solution is derived using an expansion in a parameter characterizing the ”distance” to the superconductor normal phase transition line. The expansion allows a systematic improvement of the solution. The phase diagram of the vortex matter in magnetic fie...
متن کاملMatrix model approach to the flux lattice melting in 2 D superconductors
We investigate a gauged matrix model in the large N limit which is closely related to the superconductor fluctuation and the flux lattice melting in two dimensions. With the use of saddle point method the free energy is expanded up to eighth order for the coupling constant g. In the case that the coefficient of quadratic term of the Ginzburg-Landau matrix model is negative, a critical point g =...

Iran has great potential in utilizing solar energy. In order to maximize the amount of absorbed solar radiation to absorber surfaces, the surfaces should be installed at a suitable angle slope to the horizon that is discussed in this article. The calculations performed in this study was done using MATLAB software. In this study, radiation received on the ground in 31 provincial capitals of the ...
