Surface Impedance And Optimum Surface Resistance Of A Superconductor With An Imperfect Surface, Alex Gurevich, Takayuki Kubo
Surface Impedance And Optimum Surface Resistance Of A Superconductor With An Imperfect Surface, Alex Gurevich, Takayuki Kubo
Physics Faculty Publications
We calculate a low-frequency surface impedance of a dirty, s-wave superconductor with an imperfect surface incorporating either a thin layer with a reduced pairing constant or a thin, proximity-coupled normal layer. Such structures model realistic surfaces of superconducting materials which can contain oxide layers, absorbed impurities, or nonstoichiometric composition. We solved the Usadel equations self-consistently and obtained spatial distributions of the order parameter and the quasiparticle density of states which then were used to calculate a low-frequency surface resistance Rs (T) and the magnetic penetration depth λ(T) as functions of temperature in the limit of local London electrodynamics. It …
Nonperturbative Evolution Of Parton Quasi-Distributions, A. V. Radyushkin
Nonperturbative Evolution Of Parton Quasi-Distributions, A. V. Radyushkin
Physics Faculty Publications
Using the formalism of parton virtuality distribution functions (VDFs) we establish a connection between the transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs) F(x,k2⊥) and quasi-distributions (PQDs) Q(y,p3) introduced recently by X. Ji for lattice QCD extraction of parton distributions f(x). We build models for PQDs from the VDF-based models for soft TMDs, and analyze the p3 dependence of the resulting PQDs. We observe a strong nonperturbative evolution of PQDs for small and moderately large values of p3 reflecting the transverse momentum dependence of TMDs. Thus, the study of PQDs on the lattice …
