چکیده

We propose that a new state with a fully gapless Fermi surface appears in quasi-2D multiband superconductors in magnetic field applied parallel to the plane. It is characterized by a paramagnetic moment caused by a finite density of states on the open Fermi surface. We calculate thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the gapless state for both s-wave and d-wave cases, and discuss the details of the first order metamagnetic phase transition that accompanies the appearance of the new phase in s-wave superconductors. We suggest possible experiments to detect this state both in the s-wave (2-H NbSe2) and d-wave (CeCoIn5) superconductors.

A mean field interpretation of critical fields in anisotropic superconductors

2014 Anisotropic magnetic critical fields Hc2 are calculated for anisotropic Fermi surface (FS) models by use of mean field theory in the clean limit. The Hohenberg-Werthamer theory is applied numerically for selected FS pieces and Matsubara frequencies. The results are compared with experimental results on various anisotropic materials, in particular organic superconductors. It is proposed tha...

Stability Conditions in Gapless Superconductors

Gapless superconductivity can arise when pairing occurs between fermion species with different Fermi surface sizes, provided there is a sufficiently large mismatch between Fermi surfaces and/or at sufficiently large coupling constant. In gapless states, secondary Fermi surfaces appear where quasiparticle excitation energy vanishes. This work focuses on homogeneous and isotropic superfluids in t...

Topological transitions of gapless paired states in mixed-geometry lattices.

We propose a mixed-geometry system of fermionic species selectively confined in lattices of different geometry. We investigate how such asymmetry can lead to exotic multiband fermion pairing in an example system of honeycomb and triangular lattices. A rich phase diagram of interband pairing with gapped and gapless excitations is found at zero temperature. We find that the two-band contribution ...

Giant paramagnetic Meissner effect in multiband superconductors

Superconductors, ideally diamagnetic when in the Meissner state, can also exhibit paramagnetic behavior due to trapped magnetic flux. In the absence of pinning such paramagnetic response is weak, and ceases with increasing sample thickness. Here we show that in multiband superconductors paramagnetic response can be observed even in slab geometries, and can be far larger than any previous estima...

The 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...
