Order parameter effect critical fields and current of Y1–xPrx:123 superconductors

Abstract Fluctuation induced conductivity by Pr substitution at Y sites of Y1-xPrx:123 superconductors is reported. It is found that the mean field temperature Tcmf, deduced from the peak of dρ/dT versus T plot, gradually decreases by increasing Pr up to 0.40. The order parameter dimensionality (OPD) is estimated from the slope of the logarithmic plot between excess conductivity Δσ and reduced temperature є. Interestingly, the crossover from 2D to 3D is obtained for samples with Pr = 0.00, 0.10 and 0.20, while with increasing Pr up to 0.40, the crossover from 0D to quasi-2D is obtained. On the other hand, the calculated values of interlayer coupling, coherence lengths, critical fields and critical current decrease with increasing Pr up to 0.20, but with the further increase of Pr, up to 0.40, they increase. The hole carriers/Cu ions anisotropy and G-L parameter gradually increase with Pr up to 0.40. Our results are discussed in terms of the effects of Pr substitution at Y site, such as oxygen rearrangements, anisotropy, hybridization and localization of holes in the overdoped region.

Of late, the study of BCS-BEC crossover in the presence of weak random impurity is an interesting issue. In this proceedings we study the effect of this disorder which is included through the Nozières and Smith-Rink theory of superconducting fluctuations. In the weak regime, the random potential leaves an effect on the superconducting order parameter but it spares the chemical potential. Here we present the exact behavior of the mean field quantities as a function of the disorder by self-consistently solving the coupled equations.

In this article, we consider a model that allows one to describe critical phenomena in systems with higher powers and derivatives of order parameter. The systems considered have critical points with joint multicritical and Lifshitz-point-like properties. We assess the lower and upper critical dimensions of these systems. These calculation enable us to find the fluctuation region where the mean field theory description does not work.

A generalized Landau free energy for a complex order parameter expanded up to sixth-order is investigated using group theoretical arguments and the mean-field approximation. Results for the phase transitions that occur are presented. The phase diagram for all allowed values of the expansion coefficients is constructed with an emphasis placed on the influence of the anisotropy in the order parameter space. The results can be used in discussions of unconventional superconductors and modulated structural and magnetic orderings.

AbstractSpontaneous C4-symmetry breaking phases are ubiquitous in layered quantum materials, and often compete with other phases such as superconductivity. Preferential suppression of the symmetry broken phases by light has been used to explain non-equilibrium light induced superconductivity, metallicity, and the creation of metastable states. Key to understanding how these phases emerge is understanding how C4 symmetry is restored. A leading approach is based on time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, which explains the coherence response seen in many systems. However, we show that, for the case of the single layered manganite La0.5Sr1.5MnO4, the theory fails. Instead, we find an ultrafast inhomogeneous disordering transition in which the mean-field order parameter no longer reflects the atomic-scale state of the system. Our results suggest that disorder may be common to light-induced phase transitions, and methods beyond the mean-field are necessary for understanding and manipulating photoinduced phases.

The mean field theory is used for the analysis of a two-sublattice system of Ising spins, which describes ferro-, antiferro-, and ferrimagnetic orderings. It is proven that the phase transition in these systems is of a first order when the exchange constants of the sublattices are different. The free energy, the order parameter profiles and the latent heat of the phase transition are calculated for almost equivalent sublattices.

Using the mean-field approximation we study a model for quasi-two-dimensional layered superconductors. The interlayer coupling, assumed to be mediated by a small electron hopping term, is found to leave Tc practically unaffected. Consequently, a three-dimensional pairing mechanism is required to explain the observed dependence of Tc on the average interlayer spacing in the Bi and Tl compounds.

The temperature variations of electrical resistivity have been measured on pure and 5 wt% Ag doped ( La 1.6 Y 0.4) Ba 2 Ca 0.8 Cu 4.8 O z superconductors. These data were analyzed in terms of fluctuation-induced excess conductivity in the mean field regime by using the Aslamazov–Larkin (AL), Lawrence–Doniach (LD) and Maki–Thompson (MT) models. The fluctuations in the amplitude of order parameter are found to be two dimensional in nature in the mean field region. The estimated values of the average phase breaking time τϕ (100 K) are found to be 3.9×10-16 s and 4.6×10-16 s for pure and Ag doped samples respectively. The resistivity data were also analyzed in terms of excess conductivity due to phase fluctuations of the order parameter in the paracoherence region. The critical exponent is found to be mostly comparable to that of the 3D XY ferromagnet in the vicinity of zero resistivity temperature and the diluted Heisenberg model at a higher temperature.

The interplay between antiferromagnetic state and low doping regime is studied within the framework of the t-J model. The staggered magnetization is calculated in the mean field approximation by separating spin and charge degrees of freedom. We have obtained that this order parameter decreases with increasing doping and vanishes for some critical hole concentration.

Quantum Simulator

In this paper, we propose to directly detect Mott lobes, i.e. the order parameter 〈a〉, describing the Mott insulator (MI) to superfluid (SF) quantum phase transition of the Bose–Hubbard (BH) model. By weakly coupling the system to an environment in the SF phase, the U(1) symmetry breaking of the system is simulated, and the order parameter can be read from the AC Josephson current between the system and the environment. The relation between the order parameter and the Josephson current is obtained from both the mean-field theory approach and an exact numerical simulation of a finite-size example. Our numerical simulations show that the profile of the order parameter read from the Josephson current is different from it predicted by the mean-field theory, but similar to it in a system whose U(1) symmetry is broken by a weak field proportional to a + a†. This proposal is feasible in optical lattices.
