On the nature of superconductivity in the t-J model of high-Tc superconductors

Abstract

Using an extended dynamical cluster approximation we study superconductivity in the two-dimensional t-J model. In analogy to the extended dynamical mean field theory, non-local spin fluctuations are treated self-consistently with an additional Bosonic bath. To solve the effective cluster problem, we employ an extended non-crossing approximation which allows for transitions to the symmetry-broken state. At sufficiently low temperatures we find a stable superconducting solution with d-wave order parameter. Upon pairing, the exchange energy is lowered, consistent with an exchange-based pairing mechanism.

d -Wave Superconductivity in the Hubbard Model

Thomas Maier, Mark Jarrell, Thomas Pruschke +1 more

The superconducting instabilities of the doped repulsive 2D Hubbard model are studied in the intermediate to strong coupling regime with the help of the dynamical cluster approximation. To solve the effective cluster problem we employ an extended noncrossing approximation, which allows for a transition to the broken symmetry state. At sufficiently low temperatures we find stable d-wave solutions with off-diagonal long-range order. The maximal T(c) approximately 150 K occurs for a doping delta approximately 20% and the doping dependence of the transition temperatures agrees well with the generic high- T(c) phase diagram.

Antiferromagnetism and d -wave superconductivity in cuprates: A cluster dynamical mean-field theory

Alexander I. Lichtenstein, Mikhail I. Katsnelson

We present an approach to investigate the interplay of antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity in the two-dimensional Hubbard model within a numerically exact cluster dynamical mean-field approximation. Self-consistent solutions with two nonzero order parameters exist in a wide range of doping level and temperatures. A linearized equation for the energy spectrum near the Fermi level has been solved. The resulting d-wave gap has the correct magnitude and k dependence, but some distortion compared to the pure ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$ superconducting order parameter due to the presence of underlying antiferromagnetic ordering.

Superconductivity in the quasi-two-dimensional Hubbard model

Xin-Zhong Yan

On the basis of spin-pairing-fluctuation-exchange approximation, we study the superconductivity in the quasi-two-dimensional Hubbard model. The integral equations for the Green's function are self-consistently solved by numerical calculation. Solutions for the order parameter, London penetration depth, density of states, and transition temperature are obtained. Some of the results are compared with the experiments for the cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Numerical techniques are presented in detail. With these techniques, the amount of numerical computations can be greatly reduced.

A dynamical mean-field theory approach to superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in a strongly correlated electron system

Hikaru Watanabe, Sebastian Doniach

We present the results of numerical studies of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in a strongly correlated electron system. To do this we construct a Hubbard model on a lattice of self-consistently embedded multi-site clusters by means of a dynamical mean-field theory in which intra-cluster dynamics is treated essentially exactly. We show that a class of characteristic features which have been seen in the excitation spectra of high-$T_{c}$ cuprates (e.g., pseudogap and the spin-flip resonance), as well as their interplay with the onset of a pairing correlations, can be captured within a dynamical mean-field theory in which short-wavelength dynamics are rigorously treated. Thus we infer that the observation of the neutron scattering resonance in the superconducting state of the cuprate superconductors does not appear to be directly tied to their quasi-2D character. Although our approach is defined strictly in terms of fermion degrees of freedom, we show that we can readily identify the emergence of effective low energy bosonic degrees of freedom in the presence of a well-defined broken symmetry phase as long as their dynamics are dominated by short-range, short-wavelength fluctuations. Our results reveal that the dynamics of staggered spin degrees of freedom builds up coherence and a resonance-like sharp feature emerges as pairing correlations set in. Under conditions of superconducting broken symmetry our approach thus extends static BCS mean field theory to provide an exact treatment of quantum fluctuations of the BCS order parameter.

Superconducting Phase and Pairing Fluctuations in the Half-Filled Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model

Michael A. Sentef, Philipp Werner, Emanuel Gull +1 more

The two-dimensional Hubbard model exhibits superconductivity with d-wave symmetry even at half-filling in the presence of a next-nearest neighbor hopping. Using plaquette cluster dynamical mean-field theory with a continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo impurity solver, we reveal the non-Fermi liquid character of the metallic phase in proximity to the superconducting state. Specifically, the low-frequency scattering rate for momenta near (π, 0) varies nonmonotonically at low temperatures, and the dc conductivity is T linear at elevated temperatures with an upturn upon cooling. Evidence is provided that pairing fluctuations dominate the normal-conducting state even considerably above the superconducting transition temperature.

Study on Nonmagnetic Impurities in the Superconducting State of Two-Dimensional t-J Model

Hideki Tanaka, Kazuhiro Kuboki, Manfred Sigrist

We study the effect of nonmagnetic impurities in the superconducting state of the t–J model. The Bogoliubov de Gennes equation is derived using a slave-boson mean-field approximation, and we solve it numerically at T = 0. The dx2-y2-wave order parameter is suppressed near an impurity and the extended s-wave component is induced. We also find the local CDW-like feature due to the Friedel oscillations. This leads to the splitting of the expected zero-energy Andreev bound state. Therefore the system is unlikely introducing a localized state of other symmetry such as superconductivity with broken time reversal symmetry or antiferromagnetism.
