The Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase can arise in a superconductor in large magnetic field. Among its characteristics are Cooper pairs with nonzero total momentum and a spatially non-uniform order parameter. == History == Two independent publications in 1964, one by Peter Fulde and Richard A. Ferrell and the other by Anatoly Larkin and Yuri Ovchinnikov, theoretically predicted a new state in a certain regime of superconductors in high magnetic fields. This particular superconducting state is nowadays known as the Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov state, abbreviated FFLO state (also LOFF state). Since then, experimental observation of the FFLO state has been searched for in different classes of superconducting materials, first in thin films and later in exotic superconductors such as heavy-fermion and organic 〔H.

In recent years, the concept of the FFLO state was taken up in the field of atomic physics and experiments to detect the FFLO state in atomic ensembles in optical lattices. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov phase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
