ANYONIC SUPERCONDUCTIVITY WITH FERROMAGNETIC GROUND STATE
B. CHAKRABORTY, S. Ramaswamy, V. RAVISHANKAR
We study a system of non-relativistic two-dimensional spin-1/2 fermions minimally coupled to Chern-Simons and Maxwell gauge fields, at zero temperature. A self-consistent mean field approach leads to a ferromagnetic ground state which nevertheless is also superconducting. We calculate the spin and current correlation functions and show that there is a Meissner effect for weak external magnetic fields, characterised by two penetration lengths. The dispersion relations for the two longitudinal excitations are given. Further, the system supports spin waves which are massless in the absence of electromagnetic fields.
