Phase-transitions in isotropic extreme type-II superconductors
S-K. Chin, A. K. Nguyen, A. Sudboe
Using large scale Monte Carlo simulations on a uniformly frustrated 3DXY model, we report a first order vortex lattice melting transition in clean, isotropic extreme type-II $κ\to…

Finite size effects as the explanation of ``freezing'' in vortex liquids
S-K. Chin, M. A. Moore
We investigate the effect of thermal fluctuations on the (mean-field) Abrikosov phase. The lower critical dimension of the superconducting phase is three, indicating the absence of…

Mixed phases in U(N) superconductivity
M. A. Moore, T. J. Newman, A. J. Bray +1
We consider a general class of type-II superconductors which are described by N complex order parameters (OP), with an overall U(N) symmetry for the energy functional. In the lowes…
