Magnetism and superconductivity of heavy fermion matter
نویسنده
چکیده
The interplay of magnetism and unconventional superconductivity (d singlet wave or p triplet wave) in strongly correlated electronic system (SCES) is discussed with recent examples found in heavy fermion compounds. A short presentation is given on the formation of the heavy quasiparticle with the two sources of a local and intersite enhancement for the effective mass. Two cases of the coexistence or repulsion of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity are given with CeIn3 and CeCoIn5. A spectacular example is the emergence of superconductivity in relatively strong itinerant ferromagnets UGe2 and URhGe. The impact of heavy fermion matter among other SCES as organic conductor or high TC oxide is briefly pointed out.

Magnetic excitations as driving force of superconductivity in CeCu2Si2
Coexistence or competition of superconductivity and magnetic order remains an important issue in condensed matter physics. While conventional superconductivity is generally incompatible with magnetism, the magnetic 4f or 5f moments in heavy-fermion superconductors play a crucial role for the appearance of unconventional superconductivity. Similar to the high-temperature cuprate superconductors,...

متن کاملSuperconductivity with a Twist
Superconductivity and magnetism are typically antithetical forms of order. After all, in conventional superconductors, magnetic impurities are destructive to superconductivity as they break Cooper pairs [1]. But the discovery in 1979 of so-called heavy fermion superconductivity, found near an antiferromagnetic phase, led to a shift in thinking on this subject [2]. Since then, some of the most i...
متن کاملSuperconductivity in the Orbital Degenerate Model for Heavy Fermion Systems
Magnetism and superconductivity of new heavy fermion compounds CeTIn5 (T=Co, Rh and Ir) are investigated by applying fluctuation exchange approximation to an orbital degenerate Hubbard model. The superconducting phase with dx2−y2 -symmetry is found to appear next to the antiferromagnetic phase with increasing the orbital splitting energy. The present theory suggests that the orbital splitting e...
