Inhomogeneity driven by Higgs instability in gapless superconductor
Ioannis Giannakis, Defu Hou, Mei Huang +1
The fluctuations of the Higgs and pseudo Nambu-Goldstone fields in the 2SC phase with mismatched pairing are described in the nonlinear realization framework of the gauged Nambu--J…
Higgs instability in gapless superfluidity/superconductivity
Ioannis Giannakis, Defu Hou, Mei Huang +1
In this letter we explore the Higgs instability in the gapless superfluid/superconducting phase. This is in addition to the (chromo)magnetic instability that is related to the fluc…
Mismatch Induced Type Transition of a Superconductor
Ioannis Giannakis, Defu Hou, Mei Huang +1
We use the Ginzburg-Landau theory near the transition temperature in order to examine the behavior of an inhomogeneous superconductor in the presence of a magnetic field. We find t…
Absence of the London limit for the first-order phase transition to a color superconductor
Jorge L. Noronha, Hai-cang Ren, Ioannis Giannakis +2
We study the effects of gauge-field fluctuations on the free energy of a homogeneous color superconductor in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase. Gluonic fluctuations induce a stro…
Effect of gauge-field fluctuations on the phase transition between normal and color-superconducting quark matter
Jorge L. Noronha, Hai-cang Ren, Ioannis Giannakis +2
Type-I color superconductors display a first-order phase transition due to thermal gauge-field fluctuations. We numerically evaluated the critical temperature of the first-order ph…
The Meissner Effect in a Two Flavor LOFF Color Superconductor
Ioannis Giannakis, Hai-Cang Ren
We calculate the magnetic polarization tensor of the photon and of the gluons in a two flavor color superconductor with a LOFF pairing that consists of a single plane wave. We show…
