Critical disorder effects in Josephson-coupled quasi-one-dimensional superconductors — •Enver Nakhmedov and Reinhold Oppermann — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Würzburg, D-97074 Würzburg, Germany

Effects of non-magnetic randomness on the critical temperature Tc and diamagnetism are studied in a class of quasi-one dimensional superconductors. The energy of Josephson-coupling between wires is considered to be random, which is typical for dirty organic superconductors. We show that this randomness destroys phase coherence between the wires and Tc vanishes discontinuously when the randomness reaches a critical value. The parallel and transverse components of the penetration depth are found to diverge at different critical temperatures Tc(1) and Tc, which correspond to pair-breaking and phase-coherence breaking. The interplay between disorder and quantum phase fluctuations results in quantum critical behavior at T=0, manifesting itself as a superconducting-normal metal phase transition of first-order at a critical disorder strength.
