Abstract

We succeed in building up a straightforward theoretical model for spin-triplet $p$-wave superconductors, by introducing in the Ginzburg-Landau theory a second order parameter and a non-linear interaction between the two mean fields. Such interaction breaks the isotropy of the original medium and allows pairs of electrons to arrange into $S=1$ Cooper pairs. The present model predicts a thermodynamical and magnetic behavior analogous to that observed in conventional $s$-wave superconductors.
