Using Inhomogeneity to Raise Superconducting Critical Temperatures | | Y. L. Loh

28 Nov 2006 | | Subject: | Superconductivity; Statistical Mechanics | | Abstract: | Superconductors with low superfluid density can be described by XY models. In such models the scale of the transition temperature T_c is largely set by the zero temperature phase stiffness (helicity modulus), a long-wavelength property of the system: T_c = A Upsilon(0). However, the constant A is a non-universal number, depending on dimensionality and the degree of inhomogeneity. In this Letter, we discuss strategies for maximizing A for 2D XY models, that is, how to maximize the transition temperature with respect to the zero temperature, long wavelength properties. We find that a framework type of inhomogeneity can increase the transition temperature significantly. For comparison, we present similar results for Ising models. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0611719 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
