Halperin-Lubensky-Ma effect in type-I superconducting films
arXiv:cond-mat/0402053 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2003.12.055
Abstract
In this note we employ concurrently techniques of generalized -functions and compactification methods introduced in previous publications, to study the Halperin-Lubensky-Ma theory of induced weak first-order phase transitions applied to type-I superconducting films. We obtain closed formulas to the critical temperature and to the size temperature as functions of the film thickness.
