Impurity-induced Inverse Faraday Effect

A. A. Kopasov, A. A. Bespalov, A. S. Mel'nikov

We provide a quantum-mechanical description of the photoinduced dc current states and magnetic fields around nonmagnetic point impurities in a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas irr…

Large spectral gap and impurity-induced states in a two-dimensional Abrikosov vortex

A. A. Bespalov, V. D. Plastovets

We study the subgap spectrum of a 2D Abrikosov vortex in an s-wave superconductor in the absence and presence of a point impurity. By solving the Eilenberger equations without impu…

Impurity-induced subgap states in superconductors with inhomogeneous pairing

A. A. Bespalov

We study subgap states induced by a single impurity in an s-wave superconductor with suppressed pairing. For concreteness, we consider a bulk superconductor containing a normal sph…

How many quasiparticles can be in a superconductor?

Anton Bespalov, Manuel Houzet, Julia S. Meyer +1

Experimentally and mysteriously, the concentration of quasiparticles in a gapped superconductor at low temperatures always by far exceeds its equilibrium value. We study the dynami…

Density of states in gapped superconductors with pairing-potential impurities

Anton Bespalov, Manuel Houzet, Julia S. Meyer +1

We study the density of states in disordered s-wave superconductors with a small gap anisotropy. Disorder comes in the form of common nonmagnetic scatterers and pairing-potential i…

Magnon radiation by moving Abrikosov vortices in ferromagnetic superconductors and superconductor-ferromagnet multilayers

A. A. Bespalov, A. S. Mel'nikov, A. I. Buzdin

In systems combining type-II superconductivity and magnetism the non-stationary magnetic field of moving Abrikosov vortices may excite spin waves, or magnons. This effect leads to…

Pinning of an Abrikosov vortex on a small cylindrical cavity: A Ginzburg-Landau approach

A. A. Bespalov, A. S. Mel'nikov

Within the Ginzburg-Landau theory we consider Abrikosov vortex pinning on a columnar defect with the characteristic size of the cross-section much smaller than the coherence length…

Mismatch of conductivity anisotropy in the mixed and normal states of type-II superconductors

A. A. Bespalov, A. S. Mel'nikov

We have calculated the Bardeen-Stephen contribution to the vortex viscosity for uniaxial anisotropic superconductors within the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) theory. We foc…
