p-Wave superconductor in a mesoscopic disc    [PDF]

Bor-Luen Huang, S. -K. Yip

We study the finite-size and boundary effects on a time-reversal-symmetry breaking p-wave superconducting state in a mesoscopic disc geometry using Ginzburg-Landau theory. We show that, for a large parameter range, the system exhibits multiple phase transitions. The superconducting transition from the normal state can also be reentrant as a function of external magnetic field.
