This means mathematically, that the free energy is calculated in the range of temperatures, which includes a point of pase transition, without introducing any artificial parameters similar to an order parameter, but only starting from microscopic parameters of Hamiltonian. Moreover the theorems about connection of a vacuum amplitude with thermodynamics potentials are realized. The functional of a superconductor's free energy in a magnetic field was obtained with help the developed method. The obtained functional is generalization of Ginzburg-Landau functional for the case of arbitrary value of a gap, arbitrary spatial inhomogeneities and nonlocal magnetic response. The explicit expressions for the extremals of this functional were obtained in the low-temperature limit and the high-temperature limit at the condition of slowness of gap's changes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-16T17:58:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phase transitions", "microscopic theory", "nonlocal corrections", "functional", "artificial parameters similar" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1109.3677G" } } }
