Abstract:
We have developed numerical methods to study the orbital and spin
pairing
interactions of Superconductivity and Ferromagnetism. A highly
efficient
method for solving the Ginzburg Landau equations was developed to study
the orbital effects with emphasis on the Abrikosov vortex state.
Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism was applied to finite momentum spin
singlet
pairing to develop spin polarized quasiparticles. These quasiparticles
were then used to study possible Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov
states.
