Competing nodal d-wave superconductivity and antiferromagnetism: a Quantum Monte Carlo study

Xiao Yan Xu, Tarun Grover

Unconventional superconductors such as cuprates often host competing nodal superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. These systems are typically modeled as a repulsive Hubbard model whose unbiased simulation suffers from the fermion sign-problem at any non-zero doping. Here we will exploit the fact that neither of these phases, the nodal d-wave superconductor or the antiferromagnet, require any doping for their existence, and construct a sign-problem-free repulsive Hubbard model with an additional bosonic field which hosts both of these phases. Using Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, supplemented with mean-field theory and continuum field-theory arguments, we find that it hosts three distinct phases: a nodal d-wave phase, an antiferromagnet, and an intervening phase which hosts coexisting antiferromagnetism and nodeless d-wave superconductivity. The transition from the coexisting phase to the antiferromagnet is described by the 2+1-D XY universality class, while the one from the coexisting phase to the nodal d-wave phase is described by the chiral Gross-Neveu-Heisenberg theory.

Quantum Monte Carlo Study on Impurity Pinning in One-Dimensional Interacting Electron Systems–Competition between Charge Density and Superconducting Fluctuations–

Tetsuro Saso, Yoshikazu Suzumura

Effects of random impurities on one-dimensional interacting electron systems are studied by use of the quantum Monte Carlo method and the phase variable representation of charge density and superconducting fluctuations. The impurities pin the phase variable of charge density fluctuation, whereas the quantum fluctuation around the pinned state reduces the pinning effect yielding increase of the superconducting fluctuation since the charge density and the superconducting fluctuations are complementary to each other. Such interplay between randomness and interactions is shown explicitly by calculating spatial dependence of quantum fluctuations, metastable states and correlation functions for superconductivity. Quantum character of metastable states is discussed. It is found that superconducting state is more sensitive to impurities than charge density wave state when the interaction between electrons is weak.

Fragility of Charge Order Near an Antiferromagnetic Quantum Critical Point

Xiaoyu Wang, Yuxuan Wang, Yoni Schattner +2 more

We investigate the interplay between charge order and superconductivity near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point using sign-problem-free Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We establish that, when the electronic dispersion is particle-hole symmetric, the system has an emergent SU(2) symmetry that implies a degeneracy between d-wave superconductivity and charge order with d-wave form factor. Deviations from particle-hole symmetry, however, rapidly lift this degeneracy, despite the fact that the SU(2) symmetry is preserved at low energies. As a result, we find a strong suppression of charge order caused by the competing, leading superconducting instability. Across the antiferromagnetic phase transition, we also observe a shift in the charge order wave vector from diagonal to axial. We discuss the implications of our results to the universal phase diagram of antiferromagnetic quantum-critical metals and to the elucidation of the charge order experimentally observed in the cuprates.
