Robustness of s-wave superconductivity against Coulomb interactions in NaCoO
We study the depairing effect due to Coulomb interactions in NaCoO.
We consider the electron-phonon coupling and the Coulomb interactions, and
determine for s-wave superconductivity by solving the linearized
Eliashberg equation. When we consider shear phonons as well as breathing
phonons, is enhanced by Suhl-Kondo (SK) mechanism. Since SK mechanism is
strong against Coulomb interactions, remains finite even if strong
Coulomb interactions cancel out the attractive force due to breathing phonons.
The orbital degree of freedom is important to understand the mechanism of
superconductivity in NaCoO.Comment: 2pages, 2figures, Proceedings of M2S-HTSC conference in Dresden, 200
Spin fluctuations and weak pseudogap behaviors in Na_{0.35}CoO_2:renomarization of band structure
We analyze the normal electronic states of NaCoO based on the
multi-orbital Hubbard model using the FLEX approximation. The fundamental
electronic property of this system is drastically changed by the presence or
absence of the small hole pockets associated with the orbital. This
change of the Fermi surface topology may be caused by the crystalline electric
splitting due to the trigonal distortion. When small hole pockets are absent,
the weak pseudogap bahaviors appear in the density of states and the uniform
spin susceptibility, which are observed by recent experiments. We estimate the
mass enhancement factor of quasiparticle . This result
suppports recent ARPES measurements.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, submitted to proceedings of LT24, Orlando, FL,

Surface density of states and topological edge states in non-centrosymmetric superconductors
We study Andreev bound state (ABS) and surface density of state (SDOS) of
non-centrosymmetric superconductor where spin-singlet -wave pairing mixes
with spin-triplet (or -wave one by spin-orbit coupling. For -wave pairing, ABS appears as a zero energy state. The present ABS is a
Majorana edge mode preserving the time reversal symmetry. We calculate
topological invariant number and discuss the relevance to a single Majorana
edge mode. In the presence of the Majorana edge mode, the SDOS depends strongly
on the direction of the Zeeman field.Comment: 10 pages, 15 figure
