    In this paper we study the Matovich-Pearson equations describing the process of glass fiber drawing. These equations may be viewed as a 1D-reduction of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations including free boundary, valid for the drawing of a long and thin glass fiber. We concentrate on the isothermal case without surface tension. Then the Matovich-Pearson equations represent a nonlinearly coupled system of an elliptic equation for the axial velocity and a hyperbolic transport equation for the fluid cross-sectional area. We first prove existence of a local solution, and, after constructing appropriate barrier functions, we deduce that the fluid radius is always strictly positive and that the local solution remains in the same regularity class. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first global existence and uniqueness result for this important system of equations

    Unconventional superconductivity in the cage type compound Sc5_5Rh6_6Sn18_{18}

    Full text link
    We have examined the superconducting ground state properties of the caged type compound Sc5_5Rh6_6Sn18_{18} using magnetization, heat capacity, and muon-spin relaxation or rotation (μ\muSR) measurements. Magnetization measurements indicate type-II superconductivity with an upper critical field μ0Hc2(0)\mu_0H_{c2}(0) = 7.24 T. The zero-field cooled and field cooled susceptibility measurements unveil an onset of diamagnetic signal below TcT_{\bf c} = 4.4 K. The interpretation of the heat capacity results below TcT_{\bf c} using the α\alpha-BCS model unveils the value of α\alpha = 2.65, which gives the dimensionless ratio 2Δ(0)/kBTc\Delta(0)/k_B T_{\bf c} = 5.3, intimating that Sc5_5Rh6_6Sn18_{18} is a strong-coupling BCS superconductor. The zero-field μ\muSR measurements in the longitudinal geometry exhibit a signature of a spontaneous appearance of the internal magnetic field below the superconducting transition temperature, indicating that the superconducting state is characterized by the broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS). We have compared the results of broken TRS in Sc5_5Rh6_6Sn18_{18} with that observed in R5_5Rh6_6Sn18_{18} (R = Lu and Y).Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1411.687

    Broken time-reversal symmetry probed by muon spin relaxation in the caged type superconductor Lu5Rh6Sn18

    Get PDF
    The superconducting state of the caged type compound Lu5Rh6Sn18 has been investigated by using magnetization, heat capacity, and muon spin relaxation or rotation (?SR) measurements, and the results interpreted on the basis of the group theoretical classifications of the possible pairing symmetries and a simple model of the resulting quasiparticle spectra. Our zero-field ?SR measurements clearly reveal the spontaneous appearance of an internal magnetic field below the transition temperature, which indicates that the superconducting state in this material is characterized by broken time-reversal symmetry. Further, the analysis of the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth measured using the transverse-field ?SR measurements suggests an isotropic s?wave character for the superconducting gap. This is in agreement with the heat capacity behavior, and we show that it can be interpreted in terms of a nonunitary triplet state with point nodes and an open Fermi surface

    Investigation of Superconducting Gap Structure in HfIrSi using muon spin relaxation/rotation

    Get PDF
    Appearance of strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is apparent in ternary equiatomic compounds with 5dd-electrons due to the large atomic radii of transition metals. SOC plays a significant role in the emergence of unconventional superconductivity. Here we examined the superconducting state of HfIrSi using magnetization, specific heat, zero and transverse-field (ZF/TF) muon spin relaxation/rotation (μ\muSR) measurements. Superconductivity is observed at TCT_\mathrm{C} = 3.6 K as revealed by specific heat and magnetization measurements. From the TFμ-\muSR analysis it is clear that superfluid density well described by an isotropic BCS type ss-wave gap structure. Furthermore, from TFμ-\muSR data we have also estimated the superconducting carrier density nsn_\mathrm{s} = 6.6 ×\times1026^{26}m3^{-3}, London penetration depth λL(0)\lambda_{L}(0) = 259.59 nm and effective mass mm^{*} = 1.57 mem_{e}. Our zero-field muon spin relaxation data indicate no clear sign of spontaneous internal field below TCT_\mathrm{C}, which implies that the time-reversal symmetry is preserved in HfIrSi. Theoretical investigation suggests Hf and Ir atoms hybridize strongly along the cc-axis of the lattice, which is responsible for the strong three-dimensionality of this system which screens the Coulomb interaction. As a result despite the presence of correlated dd-electrons in this system, the correlation effect is weakened, promoting electron-phonon coupling to gain importance.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

    Probing the superconducting ground state of ZrIrSi: A μ\muSR study

    Get PDF
    The superconducting ground state of newly reported ZrIrSi is probed by means of μ\muSR technique along with resistivity measurement. The occurrence of superconductivity at TCT_\mathrm{C} = 1.7 K is confirmed by resistivity measurement. ZF-μ\muSR study revealed that below TCT_\mathrm{C}, there is no spontaneous magnetic field in the superconducting state, indicates TRS is preserved in case of ZrIrSi. From TF-μ\muSR measurement, we have estimated the superfluid density as a function of temperature, which is described by an isotropic ss-wave model with a superconducting gap 2Δ(0)/kBTC2\Delta(0)/k_\mathrm{B}T_\mathrm{C} = 5.1, indicates the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. {\it Ab-initio} electronic structure calculation indicates that there are four bands passing through the Fermi level, forming four Fermi surface pockets. We find that the low-energy bands are dominated by the 4d4d-orbitals of transition metal Zr, with substantially lesser weight from the 5d5d-orbitals of the Ir-atoms.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
