Effect of the Vortices on the Nuclear Spin Relaxation Rate in the Unconventional Pairing States of the Organic Superconductor (TMTSF)PF
This Letter theoretically discusses quasiparticle states and nuclear spin
relaxation rates in a quasi-one-dimensional superconductor
(TMTSF)PF under a magnetic field applied parallel to the conduction
chains. We study the effects of Josephson-type vortices on by
solving the Bogoliubov de Gennes equation for -, - or -wave pairing
interactions. In the presence of line nodes in pairing functions, is
proportional to in sufficiently low temperatures because quasiparticles
induced by vortices at the Fermi energy relax spins. We also try to identify
the pairing symmetry of (TMTSF)PF.Comment: 4+ pages, 4 figure
Possible high superconductivity mediated by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in systems with Fermi surface pockets
We propose that if there are two small pocket-like Fermi surfaces, and the
spin susceptibility is pronounced around a wave vector {\bf Q} that bridges the
two pockets, the spin-singlet superconductivity mediated by spin fluctuations
may have a high transition temperature. Using the fluctuation exchange
approximation, this idea is confirmed for the Hubbard on a lattice with
alternating hopping integrals, for which is estimated to be almost an
order of magnitude larger than those for systems with a large connected Fermi
surface.Comment: 5 pages, uses RevTe
Electronic structure and spontaneous internal field around non-magnetic impurities in spin-triplet chiral p-wave superconductors
The electronic structure around an impurity in spin triplet p-wave
superconductors is studied by the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory on a
tight-binding model, where we have chosen -wave
or -wave states which are
considered to be candidates for the pairing state in SrRuO.
We calculate the spontaneous current and the local density of states around
the impurity and discuss the difference between the two types of pairing.
We propose that it is possible to discriminate the two pairing states by
studying the spatial dependence of the magnetic field around a pair of
impurities.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Dynamical Generation of Non-Abelian Gauge Group via the Improved Perturbation Theory
It was suggested that the massive Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons matrix model has
three phases and that in one of them a non-Abelian gauge symmetry is
dynamically generated. The analysis was at the one-loop level around a
classical solution of fuzzy sphere type. We obtain evidences that three phases
are indeed realized as nonperturbative vacua by using the improved perturbation
theory. It also gives a good example that even if we start from a trivial
vacuum, the improved perturbation theory around it enables us to observe
nontrivial vacua.Comment: 31 pages, published versio
Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation Rate in Iron-Pnictide Superconductors
Nuclear magnetic relaxation rate 1/T_1 in iron-pnictide superconductors is
calculated using the gap function obtained in a microscopic calculation. Based
on the obtained results, we discuss the issues such as the rapid decrease of
1/T_1 just below the transition temperature and the difference between nodeless
and nodal s-wave gap functions. We also investigate the effect of Coulomb
interaction on 1/T_1 in the random phase approximation and show its importance
in interpreting the experimental results.Comment: Proceedings of 9th International Conference on Materials and

Superconductivity and spin correlation in organic conductors: a quantum Monte Carlo study
The d-wave pairing correlations along with spin correlation are calculated
with quantum Monte Carlo method for the two-dimensional Hubbard model on
lattice structures representing organic superconductors
-(BEDT-TTF)X and (TMTSF)X. In both cases the pairing
correlations for superconducting order parameters with nodes are found to be
enhanced. The symmetry and the enhancement of the pairing is systematically
correlated with the spin structure factor, suggesting a spin-fluctuation
mediated pairing. We have further found that, as we deform the Fermi surface to
make the system approach the half-filled square lattice, the coherence of the
pairing saturates while the local pairing amplitude continues to increase.Comment: 5 pages, RevTeX, uses epsf.sty and multicol.st
"Pudding mold" band drives large thermopower in NaCoO
In the present study, we pin down the origin of the coexistence of the large
thermopower and the large conductivity in NaCoO. It is revealed that
not just the density of states (DOS), the effective mass, nor the band width,
but the peculiar {\it shape} of the band referred to as the "pudding
mold" type, which consists of a dispersive portion and a somewhat flat portion,
is playing an important role in this phenomenon. The present study provides a
new guiding principle for designing good thermoelectric materials.Comment: 5 page
Simple Real-Space Picture of Nodeless and Nodal s-wave Gap Functions in Iron Pnictide Superconductors
We propose a simple way to parameterize the gap function in iron pnictides.
The key idea is to use orbital representation, not band representation, and to
assume real-space short-range pairing. Our parameterization reproduces fairly
well the structure of gap function obtained in microscopic calculation. At the
same time the present parameterization is simple enough to obtain an intuitive
picture and to develop a phenomenological theory. We also discuss
simplification of the treatment of the superconducting state.Comment: 4 page
A unified origin for the 3D magnetism and superconductivity in NaCoO
We analyze the origin of the three dimensional (3D) magnetism observed in
nonhydrated Na-rich NaCoO within an itinerant spin picture using a 3D
Hubbard model. The origin is identified as the 3D nesting between the inner and
outer portions of the Fermi surface, which arise due to the local minimum
structure of the band at the -A line. The calculated spin wave
dispersion strikingly resembles the neutron scattering result. We argue that
this 3D magnetism and the spin fluctuations responsible for superconductivity
in the hydrated systems share essentially the same origin.Comment: 5pages, 6figure
