Multicomponent superconductivity based on multiband superconductors

Y Tanaka - Superconductor Science and Technology, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Multicomponent superconductivity is realized in multiband superconductors when an
interband pairing interaction is considerably weaker than the intraband interactions. There is …

Ground state, collective mode, phase soliton and vortex in multiband superconductors

SZ Lin - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org

Chiral skyrmions in three-band superconductors

J Garaud, J Carlström, E Babaev, M Speight - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2013 - APS
It is shown that under certain conditions, three-component superconductors (and, in
particular, three-band systems) allow stable topological defects different from vortices. We …

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 …

Two-band superconductors: Hidden criticality deep in the superconducting state

L Komendová, Y Chen, AA Shanenko, MV Milošević… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
We show that two-band superconductors harbor hidden criticality deep in the
superconducting state, stemming from the critical temperature of the weaker band taken as …

NV Orlova, AA Shanenko, MV Milošević… - Physical Review B …, 2013 - APS
A procedure to derive the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory from the multiband BCS
Hamiltonian is developed in a general case with an arbitrary number of bands and arbitrary …

Symmetry constraints on superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene: Fractional vortices, condensates, or nonunitary pairing

E Khalaf, P Ledwith, A Vishwanath - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
When two graphene sheets are twisted relative to each other by a small angle, enhanced
correlations lead to superconductivity whose origin remains under debate. Here, we derive …

Coreless vortices as direct signature of chiral -wave superconductivity

P Holmvall, AM Black-Schaffer - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Chiral d-wave superconductivity has been proposed in a number of different materials, but
characteristic experimental fingerprints have been largely lacking. We show that quadruply …
