Magnetic field dependence of the penetration depth of d-wave superconductors with strong isolated impurities

چکیده
A d-wave superconductor with isolated strong non-magnetic impurities should exhibit an upturn in the penetration depth at low temperatures [1]. Here we calculate how an external magnetic field supresses this effect.

Singular current response from isolated impurities in d-wave superconductors.
The current response of a d-wave superconductor containing a single impurity is calculated and shown to be singular in the low-temperature limit, leading in the case of strong scattering to a 1/T term in the penetration depth lambda(T) similar to that induced by Andreev surface bound states. For a small number of such impurities, we argue this low-T upturn could be observable in cuprate superco...
متن کاملMixed-state penetration depths in s-wave and d-wave superconductors
We report on a microscopic calculation of the current and magnetic field distribution in the mixed state of model s-wave and d-wave superconductors. For the d-wave case, we find that corrections to London theory are important at fields small compared to Hc2. The field distribution is influenced by both superfluid-velocity dependence and non-locality in the current response function of the mixed...
متن کاملThe Kosztin-Leggett Nonlocal Effect on the Magnetic Penetration Depth in Superconductors with Nodes in the Gap
Penetration depth measurements have played a very fundamental role in the study of the gap symmetry of all unconventional superconductors. For instance, from magnetic penetration depth measurements it was first suggested the dwave symmetry for the energy gap in high critical temperature superconductors (HTSC) [1]. It is expected that, for superconducting energy gaps with nodes on the Fermi surf...

Introduction: Integrated radiation therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the Applied magnetic fields for imaging, can influence the charged path, change the penetration depth and deflect the particles, laterally, leading to dose distribution variations. Therefore, i...
متن کاملScattering by impurity-induced order parameter “holes” in d-wave superconductors
Nonmagnetic impurities in d-wave superconductors cause strong local suppressions of the order parameter. We investigate the observable effects of the scatterigng off such suppressions in bulk samples by treating the order parameter “hole” as a pointlike off-diagonal scatterer treated within a selfconsistent t-matrix approximation. Strong scattering potentials lead to a finite-energy spectral fe...
