Superconductivity near a quantum critical point in the extreme retardation regime
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study fermions at quantum criticality with extremely retarded interactions of the form $V({\ensuremath{\omega}}_{l})=(g/|{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{l}{|)}^{\ensuremath{\gamma}}$, where ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{l}$ is transferred Matsubara frequency. This system undergoes a normal-superconductor phase transition critical temperature $T={T}_{c}$. The order parameter frequency-dependent gap function $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}({\ensuremath{\omega}}_{n})$ as in Eliashberg theory. In general, interaction for $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gg}1$, except low temperatures $\ensuremath{\gamma}>3$ sufficient. evaluate normal state specific heat ${T}_{c}$, jump near and Landau free energy. Our answers are asymptotically exact limit $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. At temperatures, we prove that global minimum energy nondegenerate determine parameter, energy, heat. These $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ $\ensuremath{\gamma}>3$. also uncover investigate an instability $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ model: Negative just above ${T}_{c}$.

Enhancement of superconductivity near a nematic quantum critical point.
We consider a low T_{c} metallic superconductor weakly coupled to the soft fluctuations associated with proximity to a nematic quantum critical point (NQCP). We show that (1) a BCS-Eliashberg treatment remains valid outside of a parametrically narrow interval about the NQCP, (2) the symmetry of the superconducting state (d wave, s wave, p wave) is typically determined by the noncritical interac...
متن کاملSuperconductivity near a Quantum-Critical Point: The Special Role of the First Matsubara Frequency.
Near a quantum-critical point in a metal strong fermion-fermion interaction mediated by a soft collective boson gives rise to incoherent, non-Fermi liquid behavior. It also often gives rise to superconductivity which masks the non-Fermi liquid behavior. We analyze the interplay between the tendency to pairing and fermionic incoherence for a set of quantum-critical models with effective dynamica...
متن کاملEnhancement of superconductivity near the ferromagnetic quantum critical point in UCoGe.
We report a high-pressure single crystal study of the superconducting ferromagnet UCoGe. Measurements of the ac susceptibility and resistivity under pressures up to 2.2 GPa show ferromagnetism is smoothly depressed and vanishes at a critical pressure p(c) = 1.4 GPa. Near the ferromagnetic critical point superconductivity is enhanced. Upper-critical field measurements under pressure show B(c2)(0...
متن کاملSingle-gap s-Wave superconductivity near the charge-density-wave quantum critical point in CuxTiSe2.
The in-plane thermal conductivity kappa of the layered superconductor CuxTiSe2 was measured down to temperatures as low as Tc/40, at x=0.06 near where the charge-density-wave order vanishes. The absence of a residual linear term at T-->0 is strong evidence for conventional s-wave superconductivity in this system. This is further supported by the slow magnetic field dependence, also consistent w...
متن کاملFermi Liquid near a Quantum Critical Point *
We investigate the approach to the quantum critical point of a Pomeranchuk instability from the symmetric, disordered side of the phase diagram. In the low-temperature limit, a Fermi liquid description of the metal is possible and becomes exact for T → 0. We discuss in detail which features of the approach to quantum criticality can be captured within Fermi liquid theory and which are outside o...
