Independent Nonlinear Modes in Layered Superconductors: Theoretical Physics Conference Highlights

Explore the study of natural and artificial layered superconductors, focusing on the behavior of I and II polarizations in waveguides. Discover the principles of superposition in nonlinearity equations, ordinary and extraordinary waves, and polarizations within these materials. Gain insights into the scientific and technological perspectives of Josephson plasma waves and geometric aspects of the problem. Delve into the field inside layered superconductors and the nature of different wave behaviors, all discussed at the "Problems of Theoretical Physics" conference at Bogolyubov Institute. Join Tetiana Rokhmanova from IRE NASU as she presents her findings and conclusions in Kyiv, Ukraine.

  2. 1. Layered superconductors - definition - perspectives of the study 2. Formulation of the problem 3. Field inside the layered superconductors - nonlinearity of equations - ordinary & extraordinary waves 4. Behavior of modes of I and II polarizations coming form vacuum 5. Principle of superposition 6. Conclusion Outline TetianaRokhmanova (IRE NASU) Kyiv-2013 2/16

  3. Layered superconductors are periodic structures, where thin superconductinglayers (about 0.2 nm) are separated by the thicker insulator ones (about 1.5 nm), and are electrodynamically related to each other due to the intrinsicJosephson effect. 1. Layered superconductors Natural strongly anisotropic high-Tc crystals Bi2 Sr2 Ca Cu2O8+δ or artificial compounds like Nb /Al – Al Ox / Nb aretheexamplesof such materials.

  4. Josephon plasma waves THz frequency range (from 300 GHz to 30 THz) technological perspectives Josephson plasma scientific perspectives 1. Why to study? Anisotropy of current-carrying capability: the currentsalongandacrossthe layers are of different nature. Tetiana Rokhmanova (IRE NASU) Kyiv-2013 4/16

  10. Incident mode of the • I polarization: • fully reflects • does not convert • into II polarization 4. Behavior of I and II polarizations • Incident mode of the • II polarization: • partly reflects and partly transmits • does not convert • into I polarization Tetiana Rokhmanova (IRE NASU) Kyiv-2013 10/16

  11. The I polarization fully reflects. hIi = 2; hIIi = 0; 4. Behavior of I and II polarizations The II polarization partly reflects and transmits. hIi = 0; hIIi = 2; The I and IIpolarizationsbehaveindependently. hIi = 2; hIIi = 2; Tetiana Rokhmanova (IRE NASU) Kyiv-2013 11/16

  12. all the curves have • the same envelope curve; • period of oscillations • depends on the parameters; • the period increases with • decreasing D and increasing Ly and Lz; • full transmittance at • the special critical amplitude. different lateral dimensions and thickness of the sample 4.
