Effect of Band Structure on the Symmetry of Superconducting States
Effects of the band structure on the symmetry of superconducting (SC) states
are studied. For a square lattice system with a nearest-neighbor attractive
interaction, SC states with various symmetries are found by changing the band
structure, or, the shape of the Fermi surface. The spin-triplet (-wave) and spin-singlet (- or s-wave) SC states, and states with their
coexistence (, ) can be stabilized within the same type of
interaction. The stability of interlayer-pairing states with line nodes is also
examined, and its relation to the SC state of SrRuO is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
The Mixed State of Charge-Density-Wave in a Ring-Shaped Single Crystals
Charge-density-wave (CDW) phase transition in a ring-shaped crystals,
recently synthesized by Tanda et al. [Nature, 417, 397 (2002)], is studied
based on a mean-field-approximation of Ginzburg-Landau free energy. It is shown
that in a ring-shaped crystals CDW undergoes frustration due to the curvature
(bending) of the ring (geometrical frustration) and, thus, forms a mixed state
analogous to what a type-II superconductor forms under a magnetic field. We
discuss the nature of the phase transition in the ring-CDW in relation to
recent experiments.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Ginzburg-Landau Equations for Coexistent States of Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism in t-J model
Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations for the coexistent state of superconductivity
and antiferromagnetism are derived microscopically from the t-J model with
extended transfer integrals. GL equations and the GL free energy, which are
obtained based on the slave-boson mean-field approximation, reflect the
electronic structure of the microscopic model, especially the evolution of the
Fermi surface due to the change of the doping rate. Thus they are suitable for
studying the material dependence of the coexistent states in high- cuprate
superconductors.Comment: 12 page
Microscopic derivation of Ginzburg-Landau equations for coexistent states of superconductivity and magnetism
Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations for the coexistent states of superconductivity
and magnetism are derived microscopically from the extended Hubbard model with
on-site repulsive and nearest-neighbor attractive interactions. In the derived
GL free energy a cubic term that couples the spin-singlet and spin-triplet
components of superconducting order parameters (SCOP) with magnetization
exists. This term gives rise to a spin-triplet SCOP near the interface between
a spin-singlet superconductor and a ferromagnet, consistent with previous
theoretical studies based on the Bogoliubov de Gennes method and the
quasiclassical Green's function theory. In coexistent states of singlet
superconductivity and antiferromagnetism it leads to the occurrence of
pi-triplet SCOPs.Comment: 18 page
Dynamic spin Jahn-Teller effect in small magnetic clusters
We study the effect of spin-phonon coupling in small magnetic clusters,
concentrating on a S=1/2 ring of 4 spins coupled antiferromagnetically. If the
phonons are treated as classical variables, there is a critical value of the
spin-phonon coupling above which a static distortion occurs. This is a good
approximation if the zero point energy is small compared to the energy gain due
to the distortion, which is true for large exchange interactions compared to
the phonons energy (). In the opposite limit, one can
integrate out the phonon degrees of freedom and get an effective spin
hamiltonian. Using exact diagonalizations to include the quantum nature of both
spins and phonons, we obtain the spectrum in the whole range of parameters and
explicit the crossover between the classical and quantum regimes. We then
establish quantitatively the limits of validity of two widely used approaches
(one in the quantum and one in the classical limits) and show that they are
quite poor for small magnetic clusters. We also show that upon reducing
the first excitation of a 4-site cluster becomes a singlet, a
result that could be relevant for CuTeOBr
Geometrically Frustrated Crystals: Elastic Theory and Dislocations
Elastic theory of ring-(or cylinder-)shaped crystals is constructed and the
generation of edge dislocations due to geometrical frustration caused by the
bending is studied. The analogy to superconducting (or superfluid) vortex state
is pointed out and the phase diagram of the ring-crystal, which depends on
radius and thickness, is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Ground state of an distorted diamond chain - model of
We study the ground state of the model Hamiltonian of the trimerized
quantum Heisenberg chain in which
the non-magnetic ground state is observed recently. This model consists of
stacked trimers and has three kinds of coupling constants between spins; the
intra-trimer coupling constant and the inter-trimer coupling constants
and . All of these constants are assumed to be antiferromagnetic. By
use of the analytical method and physical considerations, we show that there
are three phases on the plane (, ), the dimer phase, the spin fluid phase
and the ferrimagnetic phase. The dimer phase is caused by the frustration
effect. In the dimer phase, there exists the excitation gap between the
two-fold degenerate ground state and the first excited state, which explains
the non-magnetic ground state observed in . We also obtain the phase diagram on the
plane from the numerical diagonalization data for finite systems by use of the
Lanczos algorithm.Comment: LaTeX2e, 15 pages, 21 eps figures, typos corrected, slightly detailed

Dynamical Induction of s-wave Component in d-wave Superconductor Driven by Thermal Fluctuations
We investigated the mutual induction effects between the d-wave and the
s-wave components of order parameters due to superconducting fluctuation above
the critical temperatures and calculated its contributions to paraconductivity
and excess Hall conductivity based on the two-component stochastic TDGL
equation. It is shown that the coupling of two components increases
paraconductivity while it decreases excess Hall conductivity compared to the
cases when each component fluctuates independently. We also found the singular
behavior in the paraconductivity and the excess Hall conductivity dependence on
the coupling parameter which is consistent with the natural restriction among
the coefficients of gradient terms.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures included, submitted to J.Phys.Soc.Jp
On the Bloch Theorem Concerning Spontaneous Electric Current
We study the Bloch theorem which states absence of the spontaneous current in
interacting electron systems. This theorem is shown to be still applicable to
the system with the magnetic field induced by the electric current. Application
to the spontaneous surface current is also examined in detail. Our result
excludes the possibility of the recently proposed -wave superconductivity
having the surface flow and finite total current.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, 3 Postscript figure
