Competition between triplet superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in quasi-one-dimensional electron systems

Competition between triplet superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in quasi-one-dimensional electron systems

We investigate the competition between antiferromagnetism and triplet superconductivity in quasi-onedimensional electron systems. We show that the two order parameters can be unified using a SO(4) symmetry and demonstrate the existence of such symmetry in one-dimensional Luttinger liquids of interacting electrons. We argue that approximate SO(4) symmetry remains valid even when interchain hoppi...

Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism in Quasi-one-dimensional Organic Conductors

We review the current understanding of superconductivity in the quasi-onedimensional organic conductors of the Bechgaard and Fabre salt families. We discuss the interplay between superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and charge-density-wave fluctuations. The connection to recent experimental observations supporting unconventional pairing and the possibility of a tripletspin order parameter for...

Coexistence of Antiferromagnetism and Triplet Superconductivity

Mechanism bridging antiferromagnetism and superconductivity to the Mott insulating state in quasi-one dimensional organic conductors

The pressure dependence of the Mott, spin-density-wave and superconducting instabilities of the metallic state of the Bechgaard and Fabre salts is analyzed using weak coupling scaling theory. We show how the mechanism of quantum interference between pairings in the density-wave and superconducting channels, when combined to the influence of intrachain Umklapp scattering and inter-chain hopping ...

Competition between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in the electron-doped cuprates triggered by oxygen reduction.

We have performed a systematic angle-resolved photoemission study of as-grown and oxygen-reduced Pr(2-x)CexCuO4 and Pr(1-x)LaCexCuO4 electron-doped cuprates. In contrast with the common belief, neither the band filling nor the band parameters are significantly affected by the oxygen reduction process. Instead, we show that the main electronic role of the reduction process is to remove an anisot...
