Phenomenological description of anisotropy effects in some ferromagnetic superconductors
arXiv:1411.1748 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2015.02.045
Abstract
We study phenomenologically by using the previously derived Landau free energy, the role of anisotropy in ferromagnetic superconductors UGe2, URhGe, and UCoGe. The three compounds are separately discussed with the special stress on UGe2. The main effect comes from the strong uniaxial anisotropy of magnetization while the anisotropy of Cooper pairs and crystal anisotropy only slightly change the phase diagram in the vicinity of Curie temperature. The limitations of this approach are also discussed.
