AbstractIn this study specific heat jump using two-gap Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory has been calculated. In contrast to the previous approaches, we have taken into account intergradient order parameters interaction in the GL free energy functional. The thermodynamic magnetic field revealed nonlinear temperature dependence due to interband interaction between order parameters and their gradients. The calculations showed that the specific heat jump in two-order parameter superconductors was smaller than that of single-order parameter superconductors. It has been shown that such a model is in good agreement with experimental data for KFe2As2 superconductors.

In this paper, a coupled phase-field (PF) and lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is presented to model the multiphysics phenomenon involving electro-chemical deposition. The deposition (or dissolution) of the electrode is represented using variations of an order-parameter. The time-evolution of an order-parameter is proportional to the variation of a Ginzburg–Landau free-energy functional. Further, the free-energy densities of the two phases are defined based on a dilute or an ideal solution approximation. An efficient LBM is used to obtain the converged electro-static potential field for each physical time-step of the evolution of the PF variable. The coupled approach demonstrates the applicability of the LBM in a multiphysics scenario. The numerical validation for the coupled approach is performed by the simulation of the electrodeposition process of Cu from CuSO 4 solution.

Temperature dependence of the critical current density j c (T) for the superconducting magnesium diboride MgB 2 is studied in the vicinity of T c by using a two-band Ginzburg–Landau (G–L) theory. The result is in good agreement with experimental data for a bulk MgB 2. Comparision of obtained results with single-band GL theory are presented.

AbstractEight FePt thin film specimens of various thicknesses, compositions, and order parameters have been analyzed to determine the robustness and fidelity of multislice simulations in determining the chemical order parameter via electron diffraction (ED). The shape of the simulated curves depends significantly on the orientation and thickness of the specimen. The ED results are compared to kinematical scattering order parameters, from the same films, acquired from synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). For the specimens analyzed with convergent beam electron diffraction conditions, the order parameter closely matched the order parameter as determined by the XRD methodology. However, the specimens analyzed by selected area electron diffraction conditions did not show good agreement. This has been attributed to substrate effects that hindered the ability to accurately quantify the intensity values of the superlattice and fundamental reflections.

Temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2(T), lower critical field Hc1(T) and thermodynamic magnetic field Hcm(T) are studied in the vicinity of Tc using a two-band Ginzburg–Landau (GL) theory. The results are shown to be in a good agreement with experimental data for the superconducting magnesium diboride (MgB2) and non-magnetic borocarbides LuNi 2 B 2 C ( YNi 2 B 2 C ). In addition, two-band GL theory was applied for the calculation of specific heat jump, which is smaller than in single-band GL theory. Peculiarities of Little–Parks effect in two-band GL theory are studied also. It is shown that the quantization of the magnetic flux and the relation between surface magnetic field Hc3(T) and upper critical field Hc2(T) are the same as in single band GL theory.

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.

We investigate effect of higher Ladau levels on the transverse thermoelectricconductivity \(\alpha_{xy}\), describing the Nernst effect in high-\(T_c\) superconductors, by using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory in two dimensional model withthermal noise. The transverse thermoelectric conductivity is calculated inthe self-consistent Gaussian approximation. Our results indicate that thehigher Landau levels are, the less these levels contribute to the transversethermoelectric conductivity. Our results are in good agreement with experimental dataon high-Tc superconductor.
