Abstract:
Recently, it has been reported that the low-temperature high-magnetic field superconducting phase in CeCoIn(5) (Q phase), has spin-density wave (SDW) order that only exists within this phase. This indicates that the SDW order is the result of the development of pair density wave (PDW) order in the superconducting phase that coexists with d-wave superconductivity. Here we develop a phenomenological theory for these coexisting orders. This provides selection rules for the PDW order and further shows that the detailed structure of this order is highly constrained. We then apply our theory to the vortex phase. This reveals vortex phases in which the d-wave vortex cores exhibit charge density wave order and further reveals that the SDW order provides detailed information about the vortex phase.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
