Summary on Grant Application Form |

Interpreting the measurements of de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in terms of the semi-classical theory of Lifshitz and Kosevich is a unique and reliable source of systematic quantitative information about the Fermi Surfaces, the defining properties, of normal metals. With the hope of reproducing its success with normal metals, we aim to develop an analogous semi-classical theory for the recently discovered dHvA effect in the superconducting state and use it to extract from its measurement novel wave vector dependent information, such as the variation of the superconducting gap on the Fermi Surface about such state. We shall interpret the existing date on classic type II superconductors and explore the consequences of anisotropic, particularly d-wave and p-wave pairing, in High Temperature and Heavy Fermion superconductors respectively.
