Gauge-invariant microscopic kinetic theory of superconductivity in response to electromagnetic fields

Fan Yang, M. W. Wu

Within a gauge-invariant microscopic kinetic theory, we study the electromagnetic response in the superconducting states. Both superfluid and normal-fluid dynamics are involved. We predict that the normal fluid is present only when the excited superconducting velocity ${v}_{s}$ is larger than a threshold ${v}_{L}=|\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}|/{k}_{F}$. Interestingly, with the normal fluid, we find that there exists friction between the normal-fluid and superfluid currents. Due to this friction, part of the superfluid becomes viscous. Therefore a three-fluid model, normal fluid and nonviscous and viscous superfluids, is proposed. For the stationary magnetic response, at ${v}_{s}<{v}_{L}$ with only the nonviscous superfluid, the Meissner supercurrent is excited and the gap equation can be reduced to the Ginzburg-Landau equation. At ${v}_{s}\ensuremath{\ge}{v}_{L}$, with the normal fluid and nonviscous and viscous superfluids, in addition to the directly excited Meissner supercurrent in the superfluid, a normal-fluid current is also induced through the friction drag with the viscous superfluid current. Due to the normal-fluid and viscous-superfluid currents, the penetration depth is influenced by the scattering effect. In addition, a modified Ginzburg-Landau equation is proposed. We predict an exotic phase in which both the resistivity and superconducting gap are finite. As for the optical response, the excited ${v}_{s}$ oscillates with time. When ${v}_{s}<{v}_{L}$, only the nonviscous superfluid is present, whereas at ${v}_{s}\ensuremath{\ge}{v}_{L}$, normal fluid and nonviscous and viscous superfluids are present. We show that the excited normal-fluid current exhibits the Drude-model behavior, while the superfluid current consists of the Meissner supercurrent and Bogoliubov quasiparticle current. Due to the friction between the superfluid and normal-fluid currents, the optical conductivity is captured by the three-fluid model. Finally, we also study the optical excitation of the Higgs mode. By comparing the contributions from the drive and Anderson-pseudospin pump effects, we find that the drive effect is dominant at finite temperature whereas at zero temperature, both effects contribute.

Incompressible excitonic superfluid of ultracold Bose atoms in an optical lattice: a new superfluid phase in the one-component Bose-Hubbard model

Yue Yu

We predict that a new superfluid phase, the incompressible excitonic superfluid (IESF), in the phase diagram of ultracold Bose atoms in $d>1$ dimensional optical lattices, which is caused by the spontaneous breaking of the symmetry of translation of the lattice. Within mean field theory, the critical temperature of the phase transition from this IESF to the normal fluid (NF) is calculated and the triple-critical point of the three phases is determined. We also investigate both configuration and gauge field fluctuations and show the IESF state is stable against these fluctuations. We expect this IESF phase can be experimentally observed by loading cold Bose atoms into a two-dimensional lattice where the atom filling fraction deviates slightly from exact commensurations. The signatures distinguishing this IESF from the common atom superfluid (ASF) are that (i) the critical temperature of the IEST/NF transition is independent of interaction, unlike the ASF/NF transition; (ii) the IESF is incompressible while the ASF is compressible.

TWO-SUPERFLUID MODEL OF TWO-COMPONENT BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES

Lu Hong-Yan

Superfluid 4He at a finite temperature is described by the two-fluid model with the normal fluid component and the superfluid component.We formulate the two-fluid model for two-component BECs,namely two-superfluid model,starting from the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations.The two-superfluid model well corresponds to the two-fluid model in superfluid 4He.In a special condition,the two sound modes in the two-superfluid model behave like first and second sounds in the two-fluid model of superfluid 4He.

Within a gauge-invariant microscopic kinetic theory, we study the electromagnetic response in the superconducting states. Both superfluid and normal-fluid dynamics are involved. We predict that the normal fluid is present only when the excited superconducting velocity vs{v}_{s}vs​ is larger than a threshold ${v}_{L}=|\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}|/{k}_{F}$. Interestingly, with the normal fluid, we find that there exists friction between the normal-fluid and superfluid currents. Due to this friction, part of the superfluid becomes viscous. Therefore a three-fluid model, normal fluid and nonviscous and viscous superfluids, is proposed. For the stationary magnetic response, at vs<vL{v}_{s}<{v}_{L}vs​<vL​ with only the nonviscous superfluid, the Meissner supercurrent is excited and the gap equation can be reduced to the Ginzburg-Landau equation. At ${v}_{s}\ensuremath{\ge}{v}_{L}$, with the normal fluid and nonviscous and viscous superfluids, in addition to the directly excited Meissner supercurrent in the superfluid, a normal-fluid current is also induced through the friction drag with the viscous superfluid current.
