چکیده
It is argued that a spontaneous vortex phase may exist in the recently discovered compound ErN i 2 B 2 C at temperature below 2.3K. The consequences of this proposal are discussed. In particular the magnetic response of the system are studied both above and below 2.3K and further experiments proposed.

We propose a phase diagram for the vortex structure of high temperature superconductors which incorporates the effects of anisotropy and disorder. It is based on numerical simulations using the three-dimensional Josephson junction array model. We support the results with an estimation of the internal energy and configurational entropy of the system. Our results give a unified picture of the beh...

Motivated by the study of cosmological phase transitions, our understanding of the formation of topological defects during spontaneous symmetry-breaking and the associated non-equilibrium field theory has recently changed. Experiments have been performed in superfluid 4 He to test the new ideas involved. In particular, it has been observed that a vortex density is seen immediately after pressur...

In this work, it is shown that a non-zero vacuum energy density (the Casimir energy) for a scalar field appears in a continuous elastic solid due to the presence of a topological defect, the screw dislocation. An exact expression is obtained for this energy density in terms of the Burgers vector describing the defect, for zero and finite temperature.

We present a diffusion Monte Carlo study of a single vortex in two-dimensional superfluid liquid 4 He within the fixed node approximation. We use both the Feynman phase and an improved phase which includes backflow correlations to model the nodal surface of the vortex wavefunction. Results for the particle density, core radius and excitation energies are presented.

We present a study of phase separation from supersaturated 3 He-4 He liquid mixtures at low temperatures addressing both the degree of critical super-saturation ∆x cr and the thermal-to-quantum crossover temperature T * for the nucleation process. Two different nucleation seeds are investigated, namely 3 He droplets and 4 He vortex lines with cores filled with 3 He. We have found that the exper...
