Model of relativistic superconductivity

Abstract

We propose a simplified [Formula: see text]D effective scalar electrodynamics model of relativistic type-II superconductivity. Within this framework, we discuss possible electromagnetic (EM) behaviors of superconductivity along the lines of the nonrelativistic Ginzburg–Landau (GL) theory. This model may be of significance to study very diverse physical phenomena such as a nonlinear version of the electron–hole conversion by a superconductor and electron-positron dynamics around neutron stars. We briefly comment on extending the model to study the [Formula: see text]D dynamics of vortex–vortex interactions and Abrikosov fluxonics.
