Nonequlibrium dynamics of s- and d-wave superconductors — •Holger Krull2, Götz S. Uhrig1, Andreas P. Schnyder2, and Dirk Manske2 — 1TU Dortmund, Dortmund, Germany — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Festkörperforschung, Stuttgart, Germany
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of s- and d-wave superconductors, which are induced by a ultra-short pump pulse or a quench, respectively. The dynamics is studied by use of the density matrix formalism as well as by analytical calculation. We focus on the temporal evolution of the order parameter. For s-wave superconductors the nonadiabatic evolution of the order parameter is well established in the collisionless regime. It shows a 1/√t decaying oscillation, which can be interpreted as Higgs mode in a superconductor. Here, we consider the evolution of a d-wave order parameter and compare it with the s-wave case.
