Influence of surface irregularities on barriers for vortex entry in type-II superconductors
A. Yu. Aladyshkin, A. S. Mel'nikov, I . A. Shereshevsky +1
A theoretical description of the influence of surface irregularities (such as wedge-like cracks) on the Bean-Livingston energy barrier is presented. A careful quantitative estimate…

Quasiparticle spectrum near the gap node directions in the mixed state of d-wave superconductors
A. S. Mel'nikov
We report on a calculation of the quantized energy spectrum and quasiparticle eigenfunctions for low lying excitations in the mixed state of clean d-wave superconductors. Our study…
