Effects of inhomogeneities and thermal fluctuations on the spectral function of a model d-wave superconductor
Daniel Valdez-Balderas, David Stroud
We compute the spectral function of a model two-dimensional high-temperature superconductor, at both zero and finite temperatures . We assume that an areal fract…
Model for Vortex Pinning in a Two-Dimensional Inhomogeneous d-wave Superconductor
Daniel Valdez-Balderas, David Stroud
We study a model for the pinning of vortices in a two-dimensional, inhomogeneous, Type-II superconductor in its mixed state. The model is based on a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) free energ…
Single-Particle Density of States of a Superconductor with a Spatially Varying Gap and Phase Fluctuations
Daniel Valdez-Balderas, David Stroud
Recent experiments have shown that the superconducting energy gap in some cuprates is spatially inhomogeneous. Motivated by these experiments, and using exact diagonalization of a…
Superconductivity Versus Phase Separation, Stripes, and Checkerboard Ordering: A Two-Dimensional Monte Carlo Study
Daniel Valdez-Balderas, David Stroud
Using Monte Carlo techniques, we study a simple model which exhibits a competition between superconductivity and other types of order in two dimensions. The model is a site-diluted…
