Vortex State in Na_xCoO_2.yH_2O: p_x\pm ip_y-wave versus d_{x^2-y^2}\pm id_{xy}-wave Pairing
Based on an effective Hamiltonian specified in the triangular lattice with
possible - or -wave pairing, which has
close relevance to the newly discovered NaCoOHO, the
electronic structure of the vortex state is studied by solving the
Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. It is found that -wave is favored
for the electron doping as the hopping integral . The lowest-lying vortex
bound states are found to have respectively zero and positive energies for
- and -wave superconductors, whose vortex
structures exhibit the intriguing six-fold symmetry. In the presence of strong
on-site repulsion, the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic orders are induced
around the vortex cores for the former and the latter, respectively, both of
which cause the splitting of the LDOS peaks due to the lifting of spin
degeneracy. STM and NMR measurements are able to probe the new features of
vortex states uncovered in this work.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, The slightly shorter version was submitted to PR
Nuclear Spin Relaxation Rate of Disordered -wave Superconductors
Based on an effective Hamiltonian with the binary alloy disorder model
defined in the triangular lattice, the impurity scattering effects on the
density of states and especially on the spin-lattice relaxation rate of
-wave superconductors are studied by solving numerically the
Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. In the clean limit, the coherence peak of
is observed as expected. More intriguingly, for strong scattering
potential, the temperature dependence of exhibits the two different
power law behaviors near and at low temperatures, respectively,
which is in good agreement with the nuclear quadrupolar resonance measurement.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
