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…
