  • Strain-Induced Time Reversal Breaking and Half Quantum Vortices Near a Putative Superconducting Tetra-Critical Point in Sr $ 2 $ Ruo $
    Strain-induced time reversal breaking and half quantum vortices near a putative superconducting tetra-critical point in Sr2RuO4 Andrew C. Yuan,1 Erez Berg,2 and Steven A. Kivelson1 1Department of Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 93405, USA 2Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 7610001, Israel It has been shown [1] that many seemingly contradictory experimental findings concerning the superconducting state in Sr2RuO4 can be accounted for as resulting from the existence of an assumed tetra-critical point at near ambient pressure at which dx2−y2 and gxy(x2−y2) superconducting states are degenerate. We perform both a Landau-Ginzburg and a microscopic mean-field analysis of the effect of spatially varying strain on such a state. In the presence of finite xy shear strain, the superconducting state consists of two possible symmetry-related time-reversal symmetry (TRS) preserving states: d ± g. However, at domain walls between two such regions, TRS can be broken, resulting in a d + ig state. More generally, we find that various natural patterns of spatially varying strain induce a rich variety of superconducting textures, including half-quantum fluxoids. These results may resolve some of the apparent inconsistencies between the theoretical proposal and various experimental observations, including the suggestive evidence of half-quantum vortices [2]. I. INTRODUCTION If it happens that superconducting (SC) orders with two distinct symmetries are comparably fa- vorable for some microscopic reason, it is possible to have a two-parameter phase diagram (e.g. T and isotropic strain, 0) that exhibits a multicriti- cal point (e.g. at = ? and T = T ?) at which the transition temperatures, Tc, of the two different or- (a) (b) ders coincide, as shown in Fig.

    Annual Review 2016/17 Pushing at the frontiers of Knowledge Portrait of Dr Henry Odili Nwume (Brasenose) by Sarah Jane Moon – see The Full Picture, page 17. FOREWORD 2016/17 has been a memorable year for the country and for our University. In the ever-changing and deeply uncertain world around us, the University of Oxford continues to attract the most talented students and the most talented academics from across the globe. They convene here, as they have always done, to learn, to push at the frontiers of knowledge and to improve the world in which we find ourselves. One of the highlights of the past twelve months was that for the second consecutive year we were named the top university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Rankings. While it is reasonable to be sceptical of the precise placements in these rankings, it is incontrovertible that we are universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest universities in the world. This is a privilege, a responsibility and a challenge. Other highlights include the opening of the world’s largest health big data institute, the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery, and the launch of OSCAR – the Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research – a major new research centre in Suzhou near Shanghai. In addition, the Ashmolean’s success in raising £1.35 million to purchase King Alfred’s coins, which included support from over 800 members of the public, was a cause for celebration. The pages that follow detail just some of the extraordinary research being conducted here on perovskite solar cells, indestructible tardigrades and driverless cars.
