These models describe a newly discovered class of supercon- ductors with multiple superconducting gaps, and posses many properties that set them apart from single component models. The work presented here relies on large scale computer simulations using various numerical techniques, but also some analytical methods. In Paper I, Type-1.5 Superconducting State from an Intrinsic Proximity Effect in Two-Band Superconductors, we show that in multiband supercon- ductors, even an extremely small interband proximity effect can lead to a qualitative change in the interaction potential between superconducting vor- tices by producing long-range intervortex attraction. This type of vortex interaction results in an unusual response to low magnetic fields, leading to phase separation into domains of two-component Meissner states and vortex droplets. In paper II, Type-1.5 superconductivity in multiband systems: Effects of interband couplings, we investigate the appearance of Type-1.5 superconduc- tivity in the case with two active bands and substantial inter-band couplings.

  • Theory of Nematic Fractional Quantum Hall State

    Theory of Nematic Fractional Quantum Hall State

    Theory of Nematic Fractional Quantum Hall State Yizhi You,1 Gil Young Cho,1 and Eduardo Fradkin1, 2 1Department of Physics and Institute for Condensed Matter Theory, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1110 West Green Street, Urbana, Illinois 61801-3080, USA 2Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93106-4030, USA (Dated: July 9, 2018) We derive an effective field theory for the isotropic-nematic quantum phase transition of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. We demonstrate that for a system with an isotropic background the low-energy effective theory of the nematic order parameter has z = 2 dynamical scaling exponent, due to a Berry phase term of the order parameter, which is related to the non-dissipative Hall viscosity. Employing the composite fermion theory with a quadrupolar interaction between electrons, we show that a sufficiently attractive quadrupolar interaction triggers a phase transition from the isotropic FQH fluid into a nematic fractional quantum Hall phase. By investigating the spectrum of collective excitations, we demonstrate that the mass gap of Girvin-MacDonald-Platzman (GMP) mode collapses at the isotropic-nematic quantum phase transition. On the other hand, Laughlin quasiparticles and the Kohn collective mode remain gapped at this quantum phase transition, and Kohn’s theorem is satisfied. The leading couplings between the nematic order parameter and the gauge fields include a term of the same form as the Wen-Zee term. A disclination of the nematic order parameter carries an unquantized electric charge. We also discuss the relation between nematic degrees of freedom and the geometrical response of the fractional quantum Hall fluid.

    Institute Lecture

    Institute Lecture Quantum Mechanics Without Particles Professor Subir Sachdev Department of Physics, Harvard University . Tuesday, 21st January, 2014, Time: 6.00 PM, Venue: L-17, Lecture Hall Complex Abstract Quantum mechanics provides a thorough understanding of the physical properties of most common metals, insulators, and superconductors. Even 23 though we cannot solve the Schrödinger equation for 10 particles, we are able to make progress because the electrons move essentially independent of each other. However, in many modern materials, and particularly in the high temperature superconductors, there are important regimes where the independent-electron paradigm breaks down, and we have to deal with wave functions in which all the electrons are entangled with each other in a non- local manner. Understanding such quantum states, in which no particle-like excitations can be identified, is a major theoretical challenge. In this talk, we will describe recent progress in this field using quantum field theory, string theory, and computer simulations. These advances shed light on many of the puzzling features of phase diagrams of the high temperature superconductors. About the speaker Prof. Subir Sachdev is a distinguished condensed matter physicist. He is very well known for his research on quantum phase transitions, and its application to a variety of quantum materials, such as the high temperature superconductors. His book "Quantum Phase Transitions" (Cambridge University Press) has formed the basis of much subsequent research. More recently, he pioneered the application of string theory to the study of quantum phase transitions in condensed matter physics, such as the superfluid- insulator transition of bosons moving in a lattice.

    Who was Johns Hopkins? hile previously adopted accounts portray Johns Hopkins as an early abolitionist whose father had freed the family’s enslaved people in the early 1800s, recently discovered records offer strong evidence that Johns Hopkins held enslaved people in his home until at least the mid-1800s. More information about the university’s investigation of this history is available at the Hopkins Retrospective website. Johns Hopkins by Thomas C. Corner oil on canvas, 100 by 58 inches, 1896 The Johns Hopkins Hospital, shown here at the time of its completion in 1889, was considered a municipal and national marvel when it opened. It was believed to be the largest medical center in the country with 17 buildings, 330 beds, 25 physicians and 200 employees. As a Baltimore American headline put it on May 7, 1889, the Hospital’s opening day, “Its Aim Is Noble,” and its service would be “For the Good of All Who Suffer.” Johns Hopkins, the Quaker merchant, banker and businessman, left $7 million in 1873 to create The Johns Hopkins University and The Johns Hopkins Hospital, instructing his trustees to create new models and standards for medical education and health care. He was named for his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, her last name becoming his first (and confusing people ever since). Considering his wealth a trust, Johns into the fields.

If one envi- happen. For example, under normal circumstances, they are sions dividing a material into partitions, insulating behavior not expected to conduct electricity at low temperatures. The obtains if each partition at each snapshot in time has the same absence of electrical conduction in two dimensions (2D) at number of Cooper pairs. That is, the state is static. However, zero temperature has been one of the most cherished para- if the number of pairs fluctuates between partitions, transport digms in solid-state physics (1). In fact, the 1977 physics Nobel of Cooper pairs is possible and superconductivity obtains.
