Phase diagrams of a p-Wave superconductor inside a mesoscopic disc-shaped sample

Abstract

We study the finite-size and boundary effects on a time-reversal-symmetry breaking p-wave superconducting state in a mesoscopic disc geometry using Ginzburg-Landau theory. We show that, for a large parameter range, the system exhibits multiple phase transitions. The superconducting transition from the normal state can also be reentrant as a function of external magnetic field.
