The Finite Temperature s -Wave Superconductivity in the Two-Component Anyon Gas

Abstract

We discuss the BCS-like descriptions of the finite temperature s -wave superconductivity in the two-component anyon gas, and show that in the content of the BCS theory the long range gauge force can not be renormalized at the finite temperature T ≠ 0, and this singularity is inherent and can not be overcome by adding other interactions of any form. We attribute this to the fake vortex excitations, and show that an elementary excitation over the supercondutive s -wave ground state in the two-component anyon gas is always in company with the excitation of a fake vortex. The finite temperature superconductivity in the two-component anyon gas is similar with the two-dimensional superfluid. There are two KT phase transitions.

Superconductivity in the two-component anyon gas at finite temperature

Jian Zhou, S. G. Chen

We show that the elementary excitation of the superconductive s-wave ground state in the two-component anyon gas is always accompanied by an angular-momentum-free, flux-free vortex. Finite-temperature superconductivity in the two-component anyon gas is similar to the two-dimension superfluid. There are two Thouless-Kosterlitz (TK) phase transitions.

Anyon superconductivity in strongly-correlated spin systems

A. P. Protogenov

The present state of the gauge theory of high-temperature superconductivity in strongly-correlated two-dimensional spin systems is reviewed. Basic ideas on the statistics of elementary excitations in spatially two-dimensional systems are presented and are used in an analysis of the structure of the energy spectrum and the form of the wave function of a set of anyon quasiparticles in both the long-wave continuous and lattice limits. The continuous and lattice theories are used to classify the phase states, and the hierarchy of phase transitions is described in terms of the topological quantum field theory. Thermodynamic and electrodynamic properties of anyon systems are described, and the experimental consequences of the Chern–Simons theory of high-Tc superconductivity are discussed.

Two-dimensional Bose liquid with strong gauge-field interaction

M. V. Feigel’man, V. B. Geshkenbeǐn, L. B. Ioffe +1 more

Two unrelated problems can be reduced to a model of a Bose gas interacting with a gauge field: (i) the effect of thermal fluctuations on a system of vortices in bulk superconductors in fields ${\mathit{H}}_{\mathit{c}1}$\ensuremath{\ll}H\ensuremath{\ll}${\mathit{H}}_{\mathit{c}2}$, and (ii) charged, spinless excitations in two-dimensional (2D) strongly correlated electron systems. Both problems are important for the theory of high-temperature superconductors. We study this model in three regimes: at finite temperatures, assuming that the gauge field is purely transverse; at T=0, for the purely static (2D Coulomb) interaction; and at T=0, for a weak Coulomb interaction and a strong transverse one. Transverse interactions suppress the temperature of the superfluid transition significantly. A sufficiently strong transvese interaction is shown to produce a phase separation as the temperature decreases (in the absence of Coulomb repulsion). If there is Coulomb repulsion, the ground state does not have off-diagonal long-range order but the superfluid density is not zero unless the Coulomb constant exceeds a critical value. Sufficiently strong coupling to the transverse field destroys superfluidity as well. In the normal state formed at large couplings, the translational invariance is intact. We propose a bosonic ground state that is not superfluid at T=0. We discuss the implications of these results both for vortex liquids and strongly correlated electron systems.

High-Temperature Superconductivity from Finite-Range Attractive Interaction

Dmitry Miserev, Joel Hutchinson, Herbert Schoeller +2 more

In this letter we consider $D$-dimensional interacting Fermi liquids, and demonstrate that an attractive interaction with a finite range $R_s$ that is much greater than the Fermi wavelength $λ_F$ breaks the conventional BCS theory of superconductivity. In contrast to the BCS prediction of a finite superconducting gap for all attractive contact interactions, we show that a finite-range interaction does not induce a superconducting gap. Instead, the pair susceptibility develops a power-law singularity at zero momentum and zero frequency signaling quantum critical behavior without long-range ordering. Starting from this, we show that superconductivity can be stabilized by adding a short-range attractive interaction, which is always present in real electronic systems. As an example, we consider a layered quasi-two-dimensional material with attractive electron-electron interactions mediated by optical phonons. We demonstrate a dome shape of the critical temperature $T_c$ versus doping, strongly suppressed isotope effect, and a weak dependence of the optimal doping and maximal $T_c^* \sim 0.1 E_F$ on the interaction range at $R_s \gg λ_F$, $E_F$ is the Fermi energy. We believe that these results could be relevant to high-temperature superconductors.

High-Temperature Superconductivity from Finite-Range Attractive Interaction

In this Letter we consider D-dimensional interacting Fermi liquids, and demonstrate that an attractive interaction with a finite range R_{s} that is much greater than the Fermi wavelength λ_{F} breaks the conventional BCS theory of superconductivity. In contrast to the BCS prediction of a finite superconducting gap for all attractive contact interactions, we show that a finite-range interaction does not induce a superconducting gap. Instead, the pair susceptibility develops a power-law singularity at zero momentum and zero frequency signaling quantum critical behavior without long-range ordering. Starting from this, we show that superconductivity can be stabilized by adding a short-range attractive interaction, which is always present in real electronic systems. As an example, we consider a layered quasi-two-dimensional material with attractive electron-electron interactions mediated by optical phonons. We demonstrate a dome shape of the critical temperature T_{c} versus doping, strongly suppressed isotope effect, and a weak dependence of the optimal doping and maximal T_{c}^{*}∼0.1E_{F} on the interaction range at R_{s}≫λ_{F}, E_{F} is the Fermi energy. We believe that these results could be relevant to high-temperature superconductors.

Singlet-pair superconductivity in the two-component anyon gas

We consider a gas of fractional-statistics particles constructed by binding flux \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\ensuremath{\pi} to fermions with charge \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1. In its ground state, the system is a superfluid condensate of s-wave pairs with no observable chirality.
