Lifshitz tricritical point and its relation to the FFLO superconducting state

Arghya Dutta, Jayanta K. Bhattacharjee

We study the phase diagram of spatially inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov(FFLO) superconducting state using the Ginzburg-Landau(GL) free energy, derived from the micro…
