Giant vortices, vortex rings and reentrant behavior in type-1.5 superconductors
arXiv:1007.1849 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.83.020503
Abstract
We predict that in a bulk type-1.5 superconductor the competing magnetic responses of the two components of the order parameter can result in a vortex interaction that generates group-stabilized giant vortices and unusual vortex rings in the absence of any extrinsic pinning or confinement mechanism. We also find within the Ginzburg-Landau theory a rich phase diagram with successions of behaviors like type-1 -> type-1.5 -> type-2 -> type-1.5 as temperature decreases.
