fractional vortices : ウィキペディア英語版 | fractional vortices In a standard superconductor, described by a complex field fermionic condensate wave function (denoted ), vortices carry quantized magnetic fields because the condensate wave function is invariant to increments of the phase by . There a winding of the phase by creates a vortex which carries one flux quantum. See quantum vortex. The term Fractional vortex is used for two kinds of very different quantum vortices which occur when: (i) A physical system allows phase windings different from , i.e. non-integer or fractional phase winding. Quantum mechanics prohibits it in a uniform ordinary superconductor, but it becomes possible in an inhomogeneous system, for example, if a vortex is placed on a boundary between two superconductors which are connected only by an extremely weak link (also called a Josephson junction); such a situation also occurs in some cases in polycrystalline samples on grain boundaries etc. At such superconducting boundaries the phase can have a discontinuous jump. Correspondingly, a vortex placed onto such a boundary acquires a fractional phase winding hence the term fractional vortex. A similar situation occurs in Spin-1 Bose condensate, where a vortex with phase winding can exist if it is combined with a domain of overturned spins. (ii) A different situation occurs in uniform multicomponent superconductors which allow stable vortex solutions with integer phase winding , where , which however carry arbitrarily fractionally quantized magnetic flux.〔Egor Babaev, (Vortices with Fractional Flux in Two-Gap Superconductors and in Extended Faddeev Model ) Phys.
