Convergence of Ginzburg-landau Functionals in 3-d Superconductivity
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider the asymptotic behavior of the GinzburgLandau model for superconductivity in 3-d, in various energy regimes. We rigorously derive, through an analysis via Γ-convergence, a reduced model for the vortex density, and deduce a curvature equation for the vortex lines. In the companion paper [2] we describe further applications to superconductivity and superfluidity, such as general expressions for the first critical magnetic field Hc1 , and the critical angular velocity of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates.

Variational Equivalence between Ginzburg-landau, Xy Spin Systems and Screw Dislocations Energies
We introduce and discuss discrete two-dimensional models for XY spin systems and screw dislocations in crystals. We prove that, as the lattice spacing ε tends to zero, the relevant energies in these models behave like a free energy in the complex Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity, justifying in a rigorous mathematical language the analogies between screw dislocations in crystals and v...

A formal asymptotic expansion is used to simplify the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity in the limit of large values of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter and high applied magnetic field strengths. The convergence of solutions of the full Ginzburg-Landau equations to solutions of the leading order equations in the hierarchy is demonstrated for both boundary value and periodic problems. The ...
متن کاملExact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation by the first integral method
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.
