Dual neutral variables and knot solitons in triplet superconductors
1Institute for Theoretical Physics, Uppsala University, Box 803, S-75108 Uppsala, Sweden.
Abstract:
We derive a dual presentation of a free energy functional for spin-triplet superconductors in terms of gauge-invariant variables. The resulting equivalent model in ferromagnetic phase has a form of a version of the Faddeev model. This allows one, in particular, to conclude that spin-triplet superconductors allow formation of stable finite-length closed vortices (knotted solitons).

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
