Содержание слайда: Density matrix in quantum mechanics If one has a large closed quantum-mechanical system with co-ordinates q and a subsystem with co-ordinates x, its wave function Ψ(q,x) generally speaking does not decompose into two ones, each dependent on q and x. If f is a physical quantity, its mean value is given by

Содержание слайда: Superconducting phenomenology: London equation

Содержание слайда: Superconducting phenomenology: London equation Let us consider the second Newton law mdv/dt = eE. This equations means that there is no resistance! (The main point! – infinite conductivity). The current density j = nsev. Then d(Λj)/dt = E (*), where Λ=m/(nse2). One knows that the full and partial time derivative are connected by the equation d/dt = / t + v. Since real current velocities v in metals are small in comparison with the Fermi velocity vF, one can replace the full derivative by the partial one. Then (Λj)/t = E (i). We have the Maxwell equation (Faraday electromagnetic induction equation): rot E = − c-1H/t (**). Let us apply a rotor operation to the equation (i). Then (Λ rot j)/t = rot E (***).

Содержание слайда: Superconducting phenomenology: London equation From (**) and (***) one obtains (Λ rot j)/t = − c-1H/t (***). Or /t(rot Λj + c-1H ) =0 (****). It means that the quantity in the parentheses of Eq. (****) is conserved in time. Now, it is another main step, that takes into account the superconductivity itself! Specifically, in the bulk of the superconductor both j = 0 And H = 0. It simply reflects the Meissner effect! Then rot Λj + c-1H = 0 (*****). Equations (*****) and (i) constitute the basis of the London theory.

Содержание слайда: Superconducting phenomenology: London equation Equation (*****) and the Maxwell equation rot H = 4πj/c leads to the characteristic result of London electrodynamics. Below, we shall write relevant equations in the SI unit system.

Содержание слайда: Superconducting phenomenology: London equation Eq. (3.46) can be transformed and solved to obtain Eq. (3.52). Namely, one knows the vector identity rot rot B =  div B – Δ B, where B is an arbitrary vector. However, div B = 0, because there are no magnetic charges. Therefore, Δ B = B/2. Now, for the special geometry of Fig. 3.12 one has
