纳米超导体中库珀对尺寸的巨大变化

Giant Variations of Cooper-Pair Size in Nanoscale Superconductors

A. A. Shanenko, M. D. Croitoru, A. Vagov, F. M. Peeters

摘要:

库珀对大小(即,BCS相干长度)被量子尺寸效应显著地改变。特别是,对于传统的超导材料制成的纳米线,我们表明,相干长度表现出的大小依赖性下降了两个-三个数量级,并达到高$T_c$超导体中发现的值。这种现象与著名的BCS-BEC交叉非常相似,但有一个重要的例外:它是由电子谱的横向量子化驱动的,而不是由费米子-费米子相互作用的强度驱动的。对于具有相同单粒子谱结构的其他系统,例如,限制在量子线或量子阱几何结构中的超流费米气体,也可以预期类似的结果。

英文摘要:

The Cooper-pair size (i.e., the BCS coherence length) in low-dimensional superconductors is dramatically modified by quantum-size effects. In particular, for nanowires made of conventional superconducting materials, we show that the coherence length exhibits size-dependent drops by two-three orders of magnitude and reaches values found in high-$T_c$ superconductors. This phenomenon is surprisingly similar to the well-known BCS-BEC crossover but with one important exception: it is driven by the transverse quantization of the electron spectrum rather than by the strength of the fermion-fermion interaction. Similar results can be expected for other systems with the same structure of the single-particle spectrum, e.g, for superfluid Fermi gases confined in a quantum-wire or quantum-well geometry.
