Minimal Surfaces & the Intermediate State of Type-I Superconductors
Pavol Valko, Thomas A. Girard
The geometry of the intermediate state (IS) flux structures of type-I superconductors, observed during early stages of magnetic flux penetration induced by an externally applied pe…
Sun-Earth Lagrange reference for fundamental physics and navigation
Angelo Tartaglia, Enrico Lorenzini, David Lucchesi +3
The use of four Lagrange points of the Sun/Earth system for fundamental physics experiments in space is presented. L1, L2, L4 and L5 rotating rigidly together with the Earth form a…
Deterministic Chaos in Radioactive Decay
Július Krempaský, Štefan Húšťava, Pavol Valko
We examine the radioactive decay of iodine in terms of its Kolmogorov entropy, observing a consistency with the presence of a regime of deterministic chaos in the vacuum dynamics.
Condensation Energy of a Spacetime Condensate
Clovis Jacinto de Matos, Pavol Valko
Starting from an analogy between the Planck-Einstein scale and the dual length scales in Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity, and assuming that space-time is a condensate o…
Nucleation of Superconductivity in Thin Type-I Foils
P. Valko, M. R. Gomes, TA Girard
The nucleation of the superconductive phase in macroscopic type-I foils in a slow, continuously decreasing perpendicular magnetic field is observed to first occur at the field $H_{…
Topological Defect Densities in Type-I Superconducting Phase Transitions
J. Páramos, O. Bertolami, T. A. Girard +1
We examine the consequences of a cubic term addition to the mean-field potential of Ginzburg-Landau theory to describe first order superconductive phase transitions. Constraints on…
