Hydrodynamics and Nonlocal Conductivities in Vortex States of Type II Superconductors

Abstract

A hydrodynamical description for vortex states in type II superconductors is presented based on the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (TDGL). In contrast to the familiar extension of a single vortex dynamics based on the force balance, our description is consistent with the known hydrodynamics of a rotating neutral superfluid and correctly includes informations on the Goldstone mode. Further it enables one to examine nonlocal conductivities perpendicular to the field in terms of Kubo formula. Typically, the nonlocal conductivities deviate from the usual vortex flow expressions, as the nonlocality parallel to the field becomes weaker than the perpendicular one measuring a degree of positional correlations, and, for instance, the superconducting contribution of dc Hall conductivity nonlocal only in directions perpendicular to the field becomes vanishingly small in the situations with large shear viscosity, leading to an experimentally measurable relation ρ_xy-- ρ²_xx among the resistivity components. Other situations are also discussed on the basis of the resulting expressions.
