Length scales, collective modes, and type-1.5 regimes in three-band superconductors

J Carlström, J Garaud, E Babaev - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2011 - APS
The recent discovery of iron pnictide superconductors has resulted in a rapidly growing
interest in multiband models with more than two bands. In this work we specifically focus on …

Type-1.5 superconductivity in multiband systems: Effects of interband couplings

J Carlström, E Babaev, M Speight - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2011 - APS
In contrast to single-component superconductors, which are described at the level of
Ginzburg-Landau theory by a single parameter κ and are divided in type-I κ< 1/2 and type-II …

Vortex imaging and vortex lattice transitions in superconducting SrRuO single crystals

PJ Curran, VV Khotkevych, SJ Bending, AS Gibbs… - Physical Review B …, 2011 - APS
Scanning Hall probe microscopy has been used to study vortex structures in very-high-

Extended Ginzburg-Landau formalism for two-band superconductors

AA Shanenko, MV Milošević, FM Peeters, AV Vagov - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
Recent observation of unusual vortex patterns in MgB 2 single crystals raised speculations

Ginzburg-Landau theory of two-band superconductors: Absence of type-1.5 superconductivity

VG Kogan, J Schmalian - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2011 - APS
It is shown that within the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approximation the order parameters Δ 1 (r,
T) and Δ 2 (r, T) in two-band superconductors vary on the same length scale, the difference …

Attractive vortex interaction and the intermediate-mixed state of superconductors

EH Brandt, MP Das - Journal of superconductivity and novel magnetism, 2011 - Springer
The magnetic vortices in superconductors usually repel each other. Several cases are
discussed when the vortex interaction has an attractive tail, and thus a minimum, leading to …

Using the Ginzburg-Landau theory extended to the next-to-leading order, we determine
numerically the healing lengths of the two order parameters at the two-gap superconductor …

Stable fractional flux vortices and unconventional magnetic state in two-component superconductors

MA Silaev - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2011 - APS
In the framework of London theory we study the unconventional magnetic state in two-

Conditions for nonmonotonic vortex interaction in two-band superconductors

A Chaves, L Komendová, MV Milošević… - Physical Review B …, 2011 - APS
We describe a semianalytic approach to the two-band Ginzburg-Landau theory, which
predicts the behavior of vortices in two-band superconductors. We show that the character of …
