Orbital magnetic dynamics in chiral p-wave superconductors

preprint2006arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a theory of orbital magnetic dynamics for a chiral p-wave superconductor with broken time-reversal symmetry. In contrast to the common Landau-Lifshitz theory for spin ferromagnets, the case of orbital magnetism cannot be described in terms of local magnetization density. Hence it is impossible to define unambiguously the spontaneous magnetic moment: the latter would depend on conditions of its experimental investigation. As an example of this we consider orbital magnetization waves and the domain structure energy.
