Competing Order in the Mixed State of High Temperature Superconductors

Abstract

We examine the low temperature behavior of the mixed state of a layered superconductor in the vicinity of a quantum critical point separating a pure superconducting phase from a phase in which a competing order coexists with superconductivity. At zero temperature, we find that there is an avoided critical point in the sense that the phase boundary in the limit $B\to 0$ does not connect to the B=0 critical point. Consequently, there exists a quasi-1D regime of the phase diagram, in which the competing order is largely confined to 1D ``halos'' about each vortex core, and in which interactions between neighboring vortices, although relevant at low temperature, are relatively weak.
