Superconductivity in the Orbital Degenerate Model for Heavy Fermion Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 energy plays a key role of controlling parameter for the quantum phase transitions in the heavy fermion system.

Orbitally degenerate spin-fluctuation model for heavy-fermion superconductivity.
Manuscript is plain TeX with macros. Figures start at FIGURES BEGIN HERE, with instructions on what to do to get them. In this paper, a generalization of standard spin fluctuation theory is considered by replacing the simple Hubbard interaction by the screened Hartree-Fock interaction for f electrons. This model is then used in both an LS and a JJ coupling scheme to construct the particle-parti...

Two decades ago the epoch making discovery of high Tc cuprate superconductivity by Bednorz and Müller shocked the world’s superconductivity community. However, already in 1979 and 1980, the first heavy fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2 and organic superconductor (TMTSF)2PF6 have been discovered respectively. Also we know now that all these superconductors are unconventional and nodal. Further t...
متن کاملCorrelation between ground state and orbital anisotropy in heavy fermion materials.
The interplay of structural, orbital, charge, and spin degrees of freedom is at the heart of many emergent phenomena, including superconductivity. Unraveling the underlying forces of such novel phases is a great challenge because it not only requires understanding each of these degrees of freedom, it also involves accounting for the interplay between them. Cerium-based heavy fermion compounds a...
متن کاملUnconventional superconductivity from local spin fluctuations in the Kondo lattice.
The explanation of heavy-fermion superconductivity is a long-standing challenge to theory. It is commonly thought to be connected to nonlocal fluctuations of either spin or charge degrees of freedom and therefore of unconventional type. Here we present results for the Kondo-lattice model, a paradigmatic model to describe heavy-fermion compounds, obtained from dynamical mean-field theory which c...
متن کاملTime-reversal symmetry-breaking superconductivity in heavy-fermion PrOs4Sb12 detected by muon-spin relaxation.
We report on muon-spin relaxation measurements of the 4f(2)-based heavy-fermion superconductor filled-skutterudite Pr(Os4Sb12. The results reveal the spontaneous appearance of static internal magnetic fields below the superconducting transition temperature, providing unambiguous evidence for the breaking of time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting state. A discussion is made on which of th...
