We investigate the vortex structure in the Penson-Kolb model with and without impurities.We focus on the consequences arising from the non-local field-dependent pairing interaction for the vortex profile, current distribution, and the local density of states.
The Penson-Kolb-Hubbard model, i.e. the Hubbard model with the pair-hopping interaction J is studied.We focus on the properties of the superconducting state with the Cooper-pair center-of-mass momentum q = Q (η-phase).The transition into the η-phase, which is favorized by the repulsive J (J < 0) is found to occur only above some critical value |J c |, dependent on band filling, on-site interaction U and band structure, and the system never exhibits standard BCS-like features.This is in obvious contrast with the properties of the isotropic s-wave state, stabilized by the attractive J and attractive U , which exhibit at T = 0 a smooth crossover from the BCS-like limit to that of tightly bound pairs with increasing pairing strength.
We study the extended Hubbard model with on-site density-density U and intersite pair hopping J interactions, i.e. the Penson-Kolb-Hubbard model.This report focuses mainly on the properties of the model at T ≥ 0 in the case of repulsive J (J < 0) which may stabilize superconductivity with η-pairing.The analysis is performed within the (broken symmetry) Hartree-Fock approximation for arbitrary interaction parameters (J < 0 and U ) and electron concentration (0 < n < 2) on the d = 2 square lattice.The phase diagrams of the model at T = 0 and at finite temperatures are examined taking into account magnetic and charge-ordered phases and superconducting states with η-and s-wave pairing.
In the paper, we study the thermodynamic and electromagnetic properties of the Penson--Kolb (PK) model, i.e., the tight--binding model for fermionic particles with the pair-hopping interaction J. We focus on the case of repulsive J (i.e., J0 as a function of n and pairing strength. The analysis of the effects of the Fock term on the ground state phase boundaries and on selected PK model characteristics is performed as well as the influence of the phase fluctuations on the eta-pairing superconductivity is investigated. Within the Kosterlitz--Thouless scenario, the critical temperatures $T_{KT} $ are estimated for d=2 SQ lattice and compared with the critical temperature Tc obtained from HFA. We also determine the temperature Tm at which minimal gap between two quasiparticle bands vanishes in the eta-phase. Our results for repulsive J are contrasted with those found earlier for the PK model with attractive J (i.e., with J>0).
