Supercondutividade 100 Anos de Vitalidade J. Albino Aguiar UFPE Depto. de Física – UFPE, Recife, Brasil Recife - BR uperlab RESUMO Cem anos atrás, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes e seus colaboradores descobriram a supercondutividade. Esta descoberta alimentou, desde o início, o sonho da obtenção de altos campos magnéticos para aplicações tecnológicas e instigou cientistas a procurarem entender esta intrigante propriedade da matéria.

UFPE Recife - BR O DESENVOLVIMENTO UFPE Recife - BR uperlab O DESENVOLVIMENTO uperlab HEIKE K A M E R L I N G H O N N E S Investigations into the properties of substances at low temperatures, which have led, amongst other things, to the preparation of liquid helium Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1913 Since you have done me the honour of describing to you my investigations into the properties of substances at low temperatures, which have also led me, amongst other things, to the preparation of liquid helium, I must first of all express my deepest thanks to your old and famous Academy for distinguishing me in this manner. This has happened at a time when the continuation of my work will make great demands upon me. Nothing could make me more able than your good will does to meet new problems with the same hopeful confidence with which, 30 years ago, I met difficulties now overcome. The main aim in investigations at low temperatures has greatly changed since then. When I first turned to this field of work the aim was still to liquefy statically the gases which up to then had not been mastered and to pour into open containers those gases which it is most difficult to liquefy. What has given a character of its own to the Leyden work from the very beginning is that I allowed myself to be led by Van der Waals’ theories, particularly by the law of corresponding states which at that time had just been deduced by Van der Waals. This law had a particular attraction for me because I thought to find thebasis for it in the stationary mechanical similarity of substances and from thispoint of view the study of deviations in substances of simple chemical structurewith low critical temperatures seemed particularly important.

Ginzburg P. N. Lebedev Physics Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. INTRODUCTION First of all I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and its Nobel Committee for physics for awarding me the 2003 Nobel Prize in physics. I am well aware of how difficult it is to select no more than three Laureates out of the far greater number of nominees. So all the more valuable is this award. Personally, I have two additional motives for appreciating the award of the Prize. First, I am already 87, the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously, and posthumous recognition is not all that significant to me since I am an atheist. Second, the 1958 and 1962 Nobel Prizes were awarded respectively to Igor’ Evgen’evich Tamm and Lev Davidovich Landau. Outside of high school, the notion of a teacher is very relative and is quite often applied by formal criteria: for instance, it is applied to the supervisor in the preparation of a thesis. But I believe that the title real teacher can appropriately be given only to those who have made the greatest impact on your work and whose example you have followed. Tamm and Landau were precisely these kind of people for me. I feel particularly pleased, because in a sense I have justified their good attitude toward me. Of course, the reason lies not with the Prize itself, but with the fact that my receiving the award after them signifies following their path. UFPE Recife - BR O DESENVOLVIMENTO uperlab TYPE II SUPERCONDUCTORS AND THE VORTEX LATTICE Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2003 By Alexei A. Abrikosov Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, IL 60439, USA. In 1950, Vitalii Ginzburg and Lev Landau published their famous paper on the theory of superconductivity [1]. The approach was based on the general theory of the second order phase transitions proposed by Landau in 1937 [2]. There Landau introduced the main variable, the so called “order parameter”which was finite below the transition and zero above it. Different phase transitions had different order parameters, and whereas it was evident for, e. g., the ferromagnetic transition, namely, the spontaneous magnetization, it was far less evident for the superconducting transition. Ginzburg and Landau had a stroke of genius, when they chose, as the order parameter some sort of wave function. At that time nobody knew about Cooper pairs, and about their Bose condensate, where all particles become coherent, i. e. described by the same wave function. This assumption was the basis of the new theory, which managed to solve the main contradiction of the old theory by Fritz and Heinz London [3], namely, the positive surface energy. Besides it made many useful predictions, such as the critical magnetic field of thin films, the critical current in thin wires etc. UFPE Recife - BR O DESENVOLVIMENTO uperlab SUPERFLUID 3-He:THE EARLY DAYS AS SEEN BY A THEORIST Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2003 By Anthony J. Leggett University of Illinois, Department of Physics, 1110 West Green Street, Urbana, Ijl 61801-3080, USA. It is needless to say that I feel it a great honor and privilege to have been selected for the 2003 Nobel prize in physics for my theoretical work on superfluid 3He; I am particularly pleased to be sharing the award with Professors Ginzburg and Abrikosov, whom I have always looked up to as giants of the closely related fleld of superconductivity. The story of how, in roughly the twelve-month period July 1972–July 1973, we came to a theoretical understanding of the experimental data on what we now know as superfluid 3He is a sort of complex detective tale, involving many actors besides me; for reasons of time I will concentrate in this lecture on my own involvement, and will have to omit several important developments in which I had no direct role.

Type-I superconductors support only Meissner and normal states, while type-II superconductors form magnetic vortices in sufficiently strong applied magnetic fields. Recently there has been much interest in superconducting systems with several species of condensates, in fields ranging from condensed matter to high energy physics. Here we show that the classification into types I and II is insufficient for such multicomponent superconductors. We obtain solutions representing thermodynamically stable vortices with properties falling outside the usual type-I/typeII dichotomy, in that they have the following features: i) Pippard electrodynamics, ii) interaction potential with long-range attractive and short-range repulsive parts, iii) for an n-quantum vortex, a nonmonotonic ratio E(n) /n where E(n) is the energy per unit length, iv) energetic preference for nonaxisymmetric vortex states, “vortex molecules.” Consequently, these superconductors exhibit an emerging first order transition into a “semi-Meissner” state, an inhomogeneous state comprising a mixture of domains of two-component Meissner state and vortex clusters”.

This condition leads to a vortexvortex interaction attractive at long distances and repulsive at short distances, which stabilizes unconventional stripe- and gossamerlike vortex patterns that we have visualized in this type-1.5 superconductor using Bitter decoration and also reproduced in numerical simulations”.

This leads to a different number of decorated vortices for NbSe2 and MgB2, even at the same applied field. UFPE Recife - BR Vortices states in two band superconductors uperlab (a) Experimental vortex locations in a selected part of the image shown in Fig. 1(a). The vortex configuration resulting from the numerical simulations in a two-component superconductor at low density is shown in (b) evidencing an inhomogeneous spatial distribution of vortices. In both cases, the regions enclosed by the dashed white line indicate voids of vortices caused by the inhomogeneous distribution. In (c) the vortex pattern obtained by a magnetic decoration of the NbSe2 crystal at 1 Oe is shown and (d) corresponds to the vortex pattern obtained by a numerical simulation of a type-2 superconductor. The white scale bars correspond to 10 _m. (e) and (f ) display the distribution of first neighbor distance, Pa, of the experimental and theoretical vortex structures, respectively. In the case of MgB2, Pa shows additional peaks at distances shorter and longer than the most probable separation (see the red and green arrows). The pair of vortices separated at the distances where the additional peaks are located are highlighted in (a) and (b) by red and green circles. The light blue circles correspond to pair of vortices separated by the most probable distance.

(b) Disordered Abrikosov lattice obtained at H= 5 Oe in the NbSe2 sample. The formation of vortex stripes is also reproduced in numerical simulations of a two-component type- 1.5 superconductor (c) in contrast to a homogeneous vortex distribution in a type-2 superconductor at the same vortex density (d). The scale bars in the images correspond to 10 microm. Inset of (b): Vortex density along lines parallel to the vortex stripe direction [yellow dashed lines in (a)] for MgB2 and NbSe2 vortex structures. The variation of the vortex density is calculated as a function of the distance measured along the direction perpendicular to the stripes [yellow arrows in (a) and (b)]. The curves are normalized by their respective average density. The results of a similar calculation performed on the simulated vortex structures are shown in the inset of (d).

Victor Moshchalkov et al.[1] argue that in the recently discovered two-band superconductor MgB2, the presence of two nearly independent order parameters yp and ys, corresponding to the two electronic bands that carry the superconductivity, may lead to novel effects related to the attraction of vortices. They showed that from the two-band GL functional follows a vortex– vortex interaction that is short-range repulsive and weakly long-range attractive, as was also found by Babaev [10]. Particularly fascinating effects should occur when the GL parameters of the p and s bands, and of the two corresponding superfluids, are kp lp/xp = 0.66 < 0.71 and ks ls/xs = 3.68 > 0.71, as they find from measured energy gaps, Fermi velocities, and plasma frequencies. MgB2 should thus have properties of both type-I and type-II superconductors simultaneously. The authors of Ref. [1] name this type-1.5 suPerconductivity. Figure 1 shows the suggested spatial profiles of y and B for vortices in type-I, II, and 1.5 superconductors; for the latter they suggest the existence of two different core widths, corresponding to the p and s components, as it is expected for complete absence of interband coupling. UFPE Recife - BR Vortices states in two band superconductors uperlab The predicted vortex attraction and potential minimum should occur in a wide range of materials parameters, in contrast to the very particular case of k ~ 1 / 2-1/2 mentioned above. This minimum stabilizes unconventional stripe- and gossamer-like vortex patterns, as observed also in magnetic films, colloids, polymers, gels, etc., see Ref. [11] for a short review. To check their prediction of type 1.5 behavior, Moshchalkov et al.[1] show images of vortex arrangements obtained by decoration experiments on field cooled MgB2 and, for comparison, NbSe2, and of computer simulations at very low inductions. Field cooling r0 (1 - T/Tc) 1/2, decreases from r0 = at T = Tc when the vortices nucleate, to a value several times l(0). For MgB2, Fig. 2(a) (experiment at H = 1 Oe) and ig. 2(b) (simulation) in Ref. [1] show chains of nearly equidistant vortices, and Fig. 3(a) and Fig. 3(c) show condensation of vortices into clusters. All these features are absent in the corresponding images for NbSe2 and thus indicate that in MgB2, vortices indeed have a potential with attractive tail and minimum. In conclusion, the ideas and results of Ref. [1] are highly interesting and will certainly stimulate further investigation into the fascinating field of two component superconductivity. One should advance the theories [12] and the measurement of their input parameters, and account for the coupling terms in their solution. One should investigate the singlet-triplet mixtures of pairing states near a halfmetal–superconductor interface, and a two-band BCS-type Hamiltonian to capture the essential features in hole-doped iron-based superconductors [13]. Note that during the decoration experiments in Ref. [1] the applied field is much less than the vortex penetration field (1 N)Hc1, where Hc1 is the lower critical field, and the vortices would thus mostly leave the specimen if they were not pinned. The main challenge will be finding experimental ways to separate the effects of pinning and vortex attraction.
