We consider the role of magnetic fields on the broken inversion superconductor CePt3Si. We show that the upper critical field for a field along the c axis exhibits a much weaker paramagnetic effect than for a field applied perpendicular to the c axis. The in-plane paramagnetic effect is strongly reduced by the appearance of helical structure in the order parameter. We find that, to get good agreement between theory and recent experimental measurements of H(c2), this helical structure is required. We propose a Josephson junction experiment that can be used to detect this helical order. In particular, we predict that the Josephson current will exhibit a magnetic interference pattern for a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the junction normal. We also discuss unusual magnetic effects associated with the helical order. 相似文献

London theory for superconducting phase transitions in external magnetic fields: application to UPt3
For multicomponent superconductors, it is known that the presence of symmetry breaking fields can lead to multiple superconducting phase transitions. Motivated by recent small angle neutron scattering experiments on the vortex state of UPt3, the London theory in the vicinity of such phase transitions is determined. It is found that the form of this London theory is in general quite different than that for conventional superconductors. This is due to the existence of a diverging correlation length associated with these phase transitions. One striking consequence is that nontrivial vortex lattices exist arbitrarily close to H(c1). Applications to UPt3, CeIn3, U(1-x)Th(x)Be(13), electron doped cuprate superconductors, Sr(2)RuO(4), and MgCNi(3) are discussed. 相似文献

We investigate the order parameter of noncentrosymmetric superconductors Li2Pd3B and Li2Pt3B via the behavior of the penetration depth lambda(T). The low-temperature penetration depth shows BCS-like behavior in Li2Pd3B, while in Li2Pt3B it follows a linear temperature dependence. We propose that broken inversion symmetry and the accompanying antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling, which admix spin-singlet and spin-triplet pairing, are responsible for this behavior. The triplet contribution is weak in Li2Pd3B, leading to a wholly open but anisotropic gap. The significantly larger spin-orbit coupling in Li2Pt3B allows the spin-triplet component to be larger in Li2Pt3B, producing line nodes in the energy gap as evidenced by the linear temperature dependence of lambda(T). The experimental data are in quantitative agreement with theory. 相似文献

Because of the difference in the momenta of the superconducting order parameters, the Josephson current in a Josephson junction between a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconductor and a conventional BCS superconductor is suppressed. We show that the Josephson current may be recovered by applying a magnetic field in the junction. The field strength and direction at which the supercurrent recovery occurs depend upon the momentum and structure of the order parameter in the FFLO state. Thus the Josephson effect provides an unambiguous way to detect the existence of an FFLO state, and to measure the momentum of the order parameter. 相似文献

A Zeeman magnetic field can induce a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase in spin-singlet superconductors. Here we argue that there is a nontrivial solution for the FFLO vortex phase that exists near the upper critical field in which the wave function has only spatial line nodes that form intricate and unusual three-dimensional structures. These structures include a crisscrossing lattice of two sets of nonparallel line nodes. We show that these solutions arise from the decay of conventional Abrikosov vortices into pairs of fractional vortices. We propose that neutron scattering studies can observe these fractional vortex pairs through the observation of a lattice of 1/2 flux quanta vortices. We also consider related phases in noncentrosymmetric superconductors. 相似文献

In materials without an inversion center of symmetry the spin
degeneracy of the conducting band is lifted by an antisymmetric
spin orbit coupling (ASOC). Under such circumstances, spin and
parity cannot be separately used to classify the Cooper pairing
states. Consequently, the superconducting order parameter is
generally a mixture of spin singlet and triplet pairing states. In
this paper we investigate the structure of the order parameter and
its response to disorder for the most symmetric pairing state
(A1). Using the example of the heavy Fermion superconductor
CePt3Si, we determine characteristic properties of the
superconducting instability. Depending on the type of the
pairing interaction, the gap function is characterized
by the presence of line nodes. We show that this line nodes move in general
upon temperature.
Such nodes would be essential to explain recent low-temperature
data of thermodynamic quantities such as the NMR-T1
-1,
London penetration depth, and heat conductance.
Moreover, we study the effect of (non-magnetic) impurity on the superconducting state. 相似文献

Superconductivity in materials without spatial inversion symmetry is studied. We show that in contrast to common belief, spin-triplet pairing is not entirely excluded in such systems. Moreover, paramagnetic limiting is analyzed for both spin-singlet and -triplet pairing. The lack of inversion symmetry reduces the effect of the paramagnetic limiting for spin-singlet pairing. These results are applied to MnSi and CePt3Si. 相似文献
