Abstract
We study the phase diagram of a superconducting ring threaded by an Aharonov-Bohm flux and an in-plane magnetic Zeeman field. The simultaneous presence of both the external flux and the in-plane magnetic field leads to the competition between the Fulde-Ferrell (FF) phase and the Larkin-Ovchinnikov (LO) phase. Using the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation, we investigate the spacial profile of the order parameter. Both the FF phase and the LO phase are found to exist stably in this system. The phase boundary is determined by comparing the free energy. The distortion of the phase diagrams due to the mesoscopic effect is also studied.
