The Role of a Second Reservoir in an Open BCS Model

Published Nov 11, 2005• 3 citations

Abstract

In this paper we use the stochastic limit approach (SLA) in order to analyze some generalized versions of the open BCS model first introduced by Buffet and Martin and recently analyzed by the author using the SLA. In particular, considering different models, we discuss the role of a second reservoir interacting with the first one (but not with the system) in the computation of the critical temperature corresponding to the transition from a normal to a superconducting phase.

THE OPEN BCS MODEL, ITS STOCHASTIC LIMIT AND SOME GENERALIZATIONS

Fabio Bagarello

In this paper we use the stochastic limit approach as a tool to discuss the open BCS model of low temperature superconductivity. We also briefly discuss the role of a second reservoir interacting with the first one (but not with the system) in the computation of the critical temperature corresponding to the transition from a normal to a superconducting phase.

The stochastic limit in the analysis of the open BCS model

Fabio Bagarello

In this paper we show how the perturbative procedure known as stochastic limit may be useful in the analysis of the open BCS model discussed by Buffet and Martin as a spin system interacting with a fermionic reservoir. In particular we show how the same values of the critical temperature and of the order parameters can be found with a significantly simpler approach.

Critical Dynamics of the Phase Transition to the Superfluid State

Yu. A. Zhavoronkov, Marina Vladimirovna Komarova, Yu. G. Molotkov +2 more

In papers devoted to superfluidity, the generally accepted statement that the dynamics of the corresponding phase transition is described by the stochastic model F or E can be frequently found. Nevertheless, the dynamical critical index has not been found even in the leading order of the perturbation theory. It is also unknown which model, E or F, in fact corresponds to this system. We use two different approaches to study this problem. First, we study the dynamics of the critical behavior in a neighborhood of the λ point using the renormalization group method based on a quantum microscopic model in the formalism of the time-dependent Green’s functions at a finite temperature. Second, we study the stochastic model F to find whether it is stable under compressibility effects. Both approaches lead to the same very unexpected result: the dynamics of the phase transition to the superfluid state are described by the stochastic model A with a known dynamical critical index.

On a possibility of first-order phase transitions in a superfluid Fermi liquid model

A. P. Ivashin, Красильников Владимир Владимирович, S. V. Peletminskiǐ

We consider a phenomenologic model for a superfluid Fermi liquid with an energy functional, essentially nonquadratic in abnormal fermion distribution functions. It is shown that this model, along with the usual (in the sense of the BCS theory) second-order phase transition from normal to superconducting state, predicts a superconducting transition, which is a first-order transition. The latter occurs at a higher temperature than that predicted by the BCS theory.

Scaling Properties and Asymptotic Spectra of Finite Models of Phase Transitions as They Approach Macroscopic Limits

DAVID J. ROWE, P. S. Turner, George Rosensteel

The asymptotic spectra and scaling properties of a mixed-symmetry Hamiltonian, which exhibits a second-order phase transition in its macroscopic limit, are examined for a system of N interacting bosons. A second interacting boson-model Hamiltonian, which exhibits a first-order phase transition, is also considered. The latter shows many parallel characteristics and some notable differences, leaving it open to question as to the nature of its asymptotic critical-point properties.

Dynamical description of the phase transition to the superconducting state

L. A. Gosteva, Mikhail Yu. Nalimov, Artem Sergeevich Yashugin

We present dynamical equations that are valid in the vicinity of a phase transition to the superconducting state. In writing the equations, we take the possible influence of the magnetic interaction between charge carriers and temperature fluctuations into account. We discuss the type of the phase transition under study. We argue in favor of the applicability of stochastic dynamical model A according to the standard classification (the stochastic model with one two-component field without a conservation law) to describe the dynamics of this phase transition.
