Book Synopsis Electrodynamics of High-temperature Superconductors by : Alan M. Portis
Download or read book Electrodynamics of High-temperature Superconductors written by Alan M. Portis and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These lectures are concerned with the application of high temperature superconductors to both passive and active high-frequency devices.The central issue addressed is the electrodynamics of granular superconductors, particularly where grain boundaries (either natural or synthetic) act as Josephson weak-links. Grain boundaries are responsible for residual dissipation and for unwanted dependence of the electromagnetic properties on ambient magnetic fields and on elevated power level. Properly controlled, similar weak-links are the key to high sensitivity dc and rf SQUIDS at readily accessible temperatures, and to modulators, mixers and detectors. Such structures may conveniently lead to superconductive electronic devices as well as coherent sources of radiation in the very far infrared.
Book Synopsis Introduction to Superconductivity by : A.C. Rose-Innes
Download or read book Introduction to Superconductivity written by A.C. Rose-Innes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Superconductivity differs from the first edition chiefly in Chapter 11, which has been almost completely rewritten to give a more physically-based picture of the effects arising from the long-range coherence of the electron-waves in superconductors and the operation of quantum interference devices. In this revised second edition, some further modifications have been made to the text and an extra chapter dealing with ""high-temperature"" superconductors has been added. A vast amount of research has been carried out on these since their discovery in 1986 but the results, both theoretical and experimental, have often been contradictory, and seven years later there remains little understanding of their behavior. This book comprises 14 chapters, with the first focusing on zero resistance. Succeeding chapters then discuss perfect diamagnetism; electrodynamics; the critical magnetic field; thermodynamics of the transition; the intermediate state; and transport currents in superconductors. Other chapters cover the superconducting properties of small specimens; the microscopic theory of superconductivity; tunneling and the energy gap; coherence of the electron-pair wave; the mixed state; critical currents of type-II superconductors; and high-temperature superconductors. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of superconductivity and solid-state physics.

Book Synopsis Fermi Surface and Quantum Critical Phenomena of High-Temperature Superconductors by : Carsten Matthias Putzke
Download or read book Fermi Surface and Quantum Critical Phenomena of High-Temperature Superconductors written by Carsten Matthias Putzke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides a detailed introduction to quantum oscillation measurement and analysis and offers a connection between Fermi surface properties and superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors. It also discusses the field of iron-based superconductors and tests the models for the appearance of nodes in the superconducting gap of a 111-type pnictide using quantum oscillation measurements combined with band structure calculation. The same measurements were carried out to determine the quasiparticle mass in BaFe2(As1-xPx)2, which is strongly enhanced at the expected quantum critical point. While the lower superconducting critical field shows evidence of quantum criticality, the upper superconducting critical field is not influenced by the quantum critical point. These findings contradict conventional theories, demonstrating the need for a theoretical treatment of quantum critical superconductors, which has not been addressed to date. The quest to discover similar evidence in the cuprates calls for the application of extreme conditions. As such, quantum oscillation measurements were performed under high pressure in a high magnetic field, revealing a negative correlation between quasiparticle mass and superconducting critical temperature.
Book Synopsis Fluctuation Phenomena in High Temperature Superconductors by : M. Ausloos
Download or read book Fluctuation Phenomena in High Temperature Superconductors written by M. Ausloos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Proceedings of a NATO-ARW (HTECH ARW 96 00 52) held at the International Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy from Aug 5 till Aug 9, 1996 resulted from many discussions between various workers, concerning the need for a gathering of all (if possible) who were concerned about the subject of superconductivity fluctuations in High critical Temperature Superconductors (HTS). It appeared to many that the Skocpol-Tinkham work of 1975 had to be revitalized in view of the discovery of the new superconducting ceramics and the enormous amount of work having already taken place. The study of HTS is one of the most prominent research subject in solid state sciences. The understanding of the role of fluctuations is also thought to be necessary before technological applications since the fluctuations may destroy the superconducting state. The workshop discussions have touched upon (i) Superconducting fluctuations in the vicinity of the critical transition, (ii) Superconductivity fluctuations near the percolation transition, and (iii) Fluctuations of the vortex lattice at the lattice melting temperature. These topics served as initiators for a very great amount of discussions with many comments from the audience. More than forty "long lectures" and two "poster sessions" were held. Private discussions going unrecorded but obviously took place at many locations : lecture halls, staircases, cafetaria, bedrooms, bars, beach, . . .

Book Synopsis Antiferromagnetism, Confinement and Spin Response in the QED3 Effective Theory of High-temperature Superconductivity by : Babak Hosseyni Seradjeh
Download or read book Antiferromagnetism, Confinement and Spin Response in the QED3 Effective Theory of High-temperature Superconductivity written by Babak Hosseyni Seradjeh and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we study the effective theory of a phase-fluctuating d-wave superconductor at zero temperature, formulated by quantum electrodynamics in three space-time dimensions (QED3). This theory describes the quantum critical behaviour in underdoped high- temperature superconductors in terms of an emergent gauge field. The gauge field couples minimally to nodal spin degrees of freedom (spinons) at low energies. It is massive in the superconductor but exhibits Maxwell dynamics when superconductivity is destroyed by strong phase fluctuations of the Cooper pairs. We show that, when dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in QED3 is supplemented by residual interactions, namely, the velocity anisotropy around the nodes, short-range repulsion between electrons, and nonlinear effects of dispersion (all irrelevant for the critical behaviour itself), the loss of superconductivity gives rise to an antiferromagnetic state, in accord with observation. Then, we turn to the problem of confinement of spinons outside the superconducting phase. We assume that the gauge group is a compact U(1) and, thus, allows for monopole configurations. In the absence of fermions, the interaction between monopoles is Coulombic, monopoles form a free plasma, and static fermionic charge is confined for all values of the gauge coupling by a linear potential mediated by free monopoles. We show that this permanent confinement survives in the presence of dynamical fermionic matter. This work comprises three separate studies. We first support our claim, for relativistic fermions, by an electrostatic study of the monopole gas. This is backed up by a controlled renormalization group analysis on the equivalent sine-Gordon theory. In the second study, we extend these findings to the non-relativistic case, with a spinon Fermi surface. In the last study, we provide a variational approach to the problem, in agreement with our other works. Finally, we focus our attention on the more practical application of the QED3 theory to spin response in the superconductor, relevant for neutron scattering measurements. We show that the theory explains the observed spin gap numerically and the evolution of the response in energy and momenta qualitatively. We study the issue of resonance in these measurements by developing a formalism for exciton bound states.
