We microscopically derive Ginzburg-Landau free energy. It is shown that due to spin-orbit and Zeeman coupling magnetic response of the system can change very significantly with temperature. For sufficiently strong coupling this leads to a crossover from type-1 superconductivity at elevated temperature to vortex states at lower temperature. The external magnetic field decay in such superconductors does not have the simple exponential law. We show that in the London limit, magnetic field can be solved in terms of complex force-free fields $vec{W}$, which are defined by $nabla times vec{W} = text{const} vec{W}$. Using that we demonstrate that the magnetic field of a vortex decays in spirals. Because of such behavior of the magnetic field, the intervortex and vortex-boundary interaction becomes non-monotonic with multiple minima. This implies that vortices form bound states with other vortices, antivortices, and boundaries.","PeriodicalId":8514,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Superconductivity","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85093994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present a theoretical study of near-field thermal diodes and transistors that combine superconducting materials with normal (non-superconducting) metals. To be precise, we show that a system formed by two parallel plates made of Nb and Au can exhibit unprecedented rectification ratios very close to unity at temperatures around Nb superconducting critical temperature and for a wide range of gap size values within the near-field regime. Moreover, we also show that a superconducting Nb layer placed between Au plates can operate as a near-field thermal transistor where the amplification factor can be greatly tuned by varying different parameters such as the temperature and thickness of the Nb layer or the distance between the Nb layer and the Au plates. Overall, our work shows the potential of the use of superconductors for the realization of near-field thermal devices.","PeriodicalId":8514,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Superconductivity","volume":"184 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90447823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This occurs even in the absence of disorder for a single-band superconductor, and is facilitated by the topological splitting of the Hilbert space into bulk and chiral surface Majorana states. In the clean limit, the effect manifests as a characteristic absorption peak due to surface-bulk transitions. We also consider the effects of bulk disorder, using the Keldysh response theory. For weak disorder, the bulk response is reminiscent of the Mattis-Bardeen result for $s$-wave superconductors, with strongly suppressed spectral weight below twice the pairing energy, despite the presence of gapless Weyl points. For stronger disorder, the bulk response becomes more Drude-like and the $p$-wave features disappear. We show that the surface-bulk signal survives when combined with the bulk in the presence of weak disorder. The topological anomalous skin effect can therefore serve as a fingerprint for Weyl superconductivity. We also compute the Meissner response in the slab geometry, incorporating the effect of the surface states.","PeriodicalId":8514,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Superconductivity","volume":"163 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73149033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this state can compete with more conventional spherical harmonic pairings, such as an $s$-wave. We here demonstrate, within the framework of the weak coupling mean-field BCS theory, that the monopole and a conventional spherical harmonic SC quite generically coexist, while the repulsion can take place when the absolute value of the monopole charge matches the angular momentum quantum number of the spherical harmonic. As we show, this feature is a direct consequence of the topological nature of the monopole SC, and we dub it emph{topological repulsion}. We illustrate the above principle with the example of the conventional $s-$ and $(p_xpm ip_y)-$wave pairings competing with the monopole SC $Y_{-1,1,0}(theta,phi)$, which coexist in a finite region of the parameter space, and repel, respectively. Furthermore, the s-wave pairing is more stable both when the chemical potentials at the nodes are unequal, and in the presence of point-like charged impurities. Since the phase transition is discontinuous, close to the phase boundary, we predict that the Majorana surface modes at the interfaces between domains featuring the monopole and the trivial phases, such as an $s-$wave, will be the experimental signature of the monopole SC.","PeriodicalId":8514,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Superconductivity","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80755902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we develop a general theory of electric and magnetic responses of the surface Majorana fermions on time-reversal invariant superconductors, on the basis of topological classification and the group theory. In particular, we provide a classification of possible electromagnetic responses of the emergent Majorana fermions arising from the interplay between topology and crystalline symmetry. It is found that the emergent Majorana fermions host magnetic structures with dipole or octupole order, and the magnetic response of a single Majorana Kramers pair directly links to Cooper pair symmetry: the magnetic structure and the Cooper pairs have a common irreducible representation under crystalline symmetry. This result provides a new perspective for the identification of unconventional Cooper pairings in topological superconductors through surface-spin-sensitive measurements. We also identify a set of crystalline symmetries without magnetic dipole response, which leads to a magnetic octupole response as the leading contribution. Such a magnetic octupole response provides a unique indication of exotic topological superconductors like topological superconductors associated with $J=3/2$ electrons or nonsymmorphic symmetry. We also clarify that multiple Kramers pairs give an electric response.","PeriodicalId":8514,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Superconductivity","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87759429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 2 x 2 commensurate CDW is observed at low temperature in InxTaS2, identified by transport properties and STM measurements. Moreover, superconductivity emerges below 0.69 K, and the anisotropy ratio of upper critical field [Gamma = H||ab c2(0)=H||c c2(0)] is significantly enhanced compared to 2H-TaS2, which shares the same essential layer unit. According to the Lawrence-Doniach model, the enhanced Gamma may be explained by the reduced effective mass in kx-ky plane, where Weyl rings locate.
