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.
Nesta palestra abordaremos o desenvolvimento
histórico dessa excitante área de pesquisa
desde o tempo de Heike, até os dias atuais.

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.

ON SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND SUPERFLUIDITY
Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2003
By
Vitaly L. 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.

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.

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.

Vortex configurations, calculated by using either
the Ginzburg-Landau theory or the London
approach for triangles, squares, rectangles, disks
and slabs, reveal that:
• Vortex configurations obey the superconductor
geometry for low total vorticity, and,
• An hexagonal arrangement appears close to the
center of the superconductor, for large systems

1 - Semi-Meissner state and neither type-I nor type-II superconductivity in multicomponent
superconductors
“Traditionally, superconductors are categorized as type I or type II. 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”.

2 -Type-1.5 Superconductivity
”We demonstrate the existence of a novel superconducting state in high quality twocomponent MgB2 single crystalline superconductors where a unique combination of both
type-1 (l1/x1 < 2-1/2 = 0.71) and type-2 (l2/x2 > 2-1/2= 0.71) super-conductor conditions is
realized for the two components of the order parameter. 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”.

correspond to 10 _m. Notice that the density of vortices in the decoration
experiments represents the internal field B rather than the applied field H.
This leads to a different number of decorated vortices for NbSe2 and MgB2,
even at the same applied field.

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

Pa, of the experimental and theoretical vortex structures, respectively. In
the case of MgB2, Pa shows additional peaks at distances shorter and

additional peaks are located are highlighted in (a) and (b) by red and

3 - Attractive vortices
Ernst Helmut Brandt and Shi-Ping Zhou - Physics 2, 22 (2009) Published March 16, 2009.
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.

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.
