Type coherence lengths

The range of coherence follows naturally from the BCS theory, and we see now why it becomes short in alloys. The electron mean free path is much shorter in an alloy than in a pure metal, and electron scattering tends to break up the correlated pairs, so dial for very short mean free paths one would expect die coherence length to become comparable to the mean free path. Then the ratio k i/f (called the Ginzburg-Landau order parameter) becomes greater than unity, and the observed magnetic properties of alloy superconductors can be derived. The two kinds of superconductors, namely those with k < 1/-/(2T and those with k > l/,/(2j (the inequalities follow from the detailed theory) are called respectively type I and type II superconductors. [Pg.1578]

The coherence length in the organic superconductors is of the order of a lattice constant (as it is for the ceramic oxide superconductors). The organic superconductors are of type II (they have two critical fields). The dimensionality is between 1 and 2 (it is 3-D for the fullerides). For organic superconductors, the isotope effect results are unclear it is not certain which phonon modes are important for the superconductivity. [Pg.337]

Abstract The influence of randomly distributed impurities on liquid crystal (LC) orientational ordering is studied using a simple Lebwohl-Lasher t5q)e lattice model in two d=2) and three d=3) dimensions. The impurities of concentration p impose a random anisotropy field-type of disorder of strength w to the LC nematic phase. Orientational correlations can be well presented by a single coherence length for a weak enough w. We show that the Imry-Ma... [Pg.109]

A study on polyacetylene of the Naarmann-Theo-philou type [14] has been published by Djurado et al. [82], using both x-ray and neutron diffraction. This type of polyacetylene is characterized by a high value of the longitudinal coherence length, Z. n = 170 A, and a reduced rate of isomerization at 300 K compared to... [Pg.12]

In their neutron diffraction studies of p-type doping of PPP, Stamm and Hocker [179] have determined the setting angle (p of the chains in the pristine polymer to be 57° 3°. In this refinement, the authors started from the data by Kovacic et al. [169], but assumed a monoclinic P2i/a structure with /i=I00°. While a number of later studies by others confirm that the value of 4> is around 57°, Stamm et al. [180] find a much lower value of 45° in their electron diffraction work. The neutron study yields lateral coherence lengths L of 60 A for Kovacic PPP and 150 A for Yamamoto PPP. [Pg.31]
