Abstract

It has recently been suggested from scaling arguments that the non-linear IV-exponent a, for a two-dimensional superconductor is different from the exponent originally suggested by Ambegaokar et al. The relation between the new and the old exponent is a=a_AHNS-3. The new scaling behaviour is linked to the logarithmic vortex interaction and the long range time tail which this gives rise to. Consequently one may expect that the scaling behavior is generic for models which have these basic features. The simplest model of this type is the two-dimensional Coulomb gas model with Langevin dynamics. We here explicitly verify, through computer simulations, that the IV-characteristics of this model indeed scales according to the new scaling exponent a. Keywords: vortex, Coulomb gas, IV-exponent, Simulations, Langevin, 2D superconductor, thin films.

Evidence for Quasiparticle Decay in Photoemission from Underdoped Cuprates

I argue that the ``gap'' recently observed at the Brillouin zone face of cuprate superconductors in photoemission by Marshall et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 4841 (1996)] and Ding et al [Nature 382, 54 (1996)] is evidence for the decay of the injected hole into a spinon-holon pair.

Extended bound states and resonances of two fermions on a periodic lattice

The high-$T_c$ cuprates are possible candidates for d-wave superconductivity, with the Cooper pair wave function belonging to a non-trivial irreducible representation of the lattice point group. We argue that this d-wave symmetry is related to a special form of the fermionic kinetic energy and does not require any novel pairing mechanism. In this context, we present a detailed study of the bound states and resonances formed by two lattice fermions interacting via a non-retarded potential that is attractive for nearest neighbors but repulsive for other relative positions. In the case of strong binding, a pair formed by fermions on adjacent lattice sites can have a small effective mass, thereby implying a high condensation temperature. For a weakly bound state, a pair with non-trivial symmetry tends to be smaller in size than an s-wave pair. These and other findings are discussed in connection with the properties of high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors.

Ginzburg Landau theory for d-wave pairing and fourfold symmetric vortex core structure

The Ginzburg Landau theory for d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductors is constructed, by starting from the Gor'kov equation with including correction terms up to the next order of ln(T_c/T). Some of the non-local correction terms are found to break the cylindrical symmetry and lead to the fourfold symmetric core structure, reflecting the internal degree of freedom in the pair potential. Using this extended Ginzburg Landau theory, we investigate the fourfold symmetric structure of the pair potential, current and magnetic field around an isolated single vortex, and clarify concretely how the vortex core structure deviates from the cylindrical symmetry in the d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductors.
