A model for coexistent superconductivity and ferromagnetism

Abstract

We explore various temperature dependencies and thermodynamic quantities of a mean field model of a ferromagnetic-superconducting system. The starting point for this model is based on an s-wave pairing scheme in the singlet channel of the superconducting state and a spontaneously broken symmetry phase in the ferromagnetic state. We show numerically and analytically that a state of coexistence reveals itself and is favored energetically over other possible states, and a simple phase diagram is developed. Finally, a comparison of the specific heat with experiment is shown.
