Comment on "Fluctuation-induced first-order transition p-wave superconductors" by Qi Li, D. Belitz, and J. Toner [Phys. Rev. B79, 054514 (2009)]

In this Comment, we show that the paper by Qi Li, D. Belitz and J. Toner, published in Phys. Rev. B {\bf 79}, 054514 (2009), contains an incomplete mean-field analysis of a simple model of Ginzburg-Landau type. The latter contains a stable non-unitary phase, which has not been found in this study and is missing in the outlined picture of possible stable phases. In this Comment, the mean field analysis has been corrected, the errors have been explained in details and relevant topics have been discussed. Shortcomings in the mean-field-like and renormalization group studies in the mentioned paper have also been revealed.Comment: accepted in Phys. Rev.

About phase transitions in Bose gases at constant density and constant pressure

The phase transitions in Bose gases at constant volume and constant pressure are considered. New results for the chemical potential, the effective Landau-Ginzburg free energy and the equation of state of the Bose condensate in ideal Bose gases with a general form of the energy spectrum are presented. Unresolved problems are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, no figs. AIP Proc. of Leiden Workshop (2004) on Realistic Models of Astrophysical Matte

Meissner phases in spin-triplet ferromagnetic superconductors

We present new results for the properties of phases and phase transitions in spin-triplet ferromagnetic superconductors. The superconductivity of the mixed phase of coexistence of ferromagnetism and unconventional superconductivity is triggered by the presence of spontaneous magnetization. The mixed phase is stable but the other superconducting phases that usually exist in unconventional superconductors are either unstable or for particular values of the parameters of the theory some of them are metastable at relatively low temperatures in a quite narrow domain of the phase diagram. Phase transitions from the normal phase to the phase of coexistence is of first order while the phase transition from the ferromagnetic phase to the coexistence phase can be either of first or second order depending on the concrete substance. Cooper pair and crystal anisotropies determine a more precise outline of the phase diagram shape and reduce the degeneration of ground states of the system but they do not change drastically phase stability domains and thermodynamic properties of the respective phases. The results are discussed in view of application to metallic ferromagnets as UGe2, ZrZn2, URhGe.Comment: 21 pages, 7 figures; Phys. Rev. B (2005) in pres

Diffraction field computation from arbitrarily distributed data points in space

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Computation of the diffraction field from a given set of arbitrarily distributed data points in space is an important signal processing problem arising in digital holographic 3D displays. The field arising from such distributed data points has to be solved simultaneously by considering all mutual couplings to get correct results. In our approach, the discrete form of the plane wave decomposition is used to calculate the diffraction field. Two approaches, based on matrix inversion and on projections on to convex sets (POCS), are studied. Both approaches are able to obtain the desired field when the number of given data points is larger than the number of data points on a transverse cross-section of the space. The POCS-based algorithm outperforms the matrix-inversion-based algorithm when the number of known data points is large. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
