Abstract

High-T_c superconducting dot embedded in an s-wave superconductor, which is called "d-dot", shows unusual properties. Especially, it shows spontaneous half-quantized magnetic fluxes at the corners of the dot because of the anisotropy of d-wave superconductivity. The d-dot can be considered as an artificial spin, because most stable states are doubly degenerate. We study stability of these degenerate states, using two-components Ginzburg-Landau equation. We show the energy difference between these degenerate states and excited states is comparable to the condensation energy of s-wave superconductor at T=0.
