Superconducting Properties of theη-Pairing State in the Penson-Kolb-Hubbard Model
W.R. Czart, S. Robaszkiewicz
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.
