Anisotropy on the Fermi Surface of the Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model
We investigate anisotropic charge fluctuations in the two-dimensional Hubbard
model at half filling. By the quantum Monte Carlo method, we calculate a
momentum-resolved charge compressibility , which shows effects of an infinitesimal doping. At the temperature
, shows peak structure at the points along the line. A similar peak
structure is reproduced in the mean-filed calculation for the d-wave pairing
state or the staggered flux state.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, figures and presentation are modifie
Superconducting states in frustrating t-J model: A model connecting high- cuprates, organic conductors and NaCoO
The two-dimensional t-J model on a frustrating lattice is studied using
mean-field variational theories with Gutzwiller approximation. We find that a
superconducting state with broken time-reversal symmetry (d+id state) is
realized in the parameter region close to the triangular lattice. The
frustration enlarges the region of superconductivity when for the
hole-doped case, which is equivalent to for electron doping. We also
discuss the SU(2) degeneracy at half-filling. The d+id state probably
corresponds to the spin gap state at half-filling.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Disorder-driven quantum phase transition from antiferromagnetic metal to insulating state in multilayered high-Tc cuprate (Cu,C)Ba2Ca4Cu5Oy
We report on superconducting(SC) characteristics for oxygen-reduced Cu-based
five-layered high-temperature superconductor (Cu,C)Ba2Ca4Cu5Oy(Cu-1245(OPT)),
which includes five-fold outer planes (OP) and four-fold inner planes (IP).As a
result of the reduction of the carrier density, the bulk SC for Cu-1245 (OPT)
takes place at the nearly optimally-doped OP with Tc= 98 K that is different
from previously-reported Cu-1245(OVD) where IP plays a primary role for the
onset of SC. It gives an evidence that the carrier density of the
optimally-doped layer determines its bulk Tc.Static antiferromagnetic(AFM)
order is evidenced at IP's by zero-field Cu-NMR at low temperature,
irrespective of the SC transition at OP's below 98K. This AFM state at IP's is
characterized by a carrier localization at low temperatures due to disorder
effect, whereas the carrier densities in each layer are similar to Hg-1245(OPT)
where the AFM metallic state are realized in IP's. This finding reinforces the
phase diagram in which the AFM metallic phase exists between AFM insulator and
SC states for the case of ideally-flat CuO2 plane without disorder.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Electronic states around a vortex core in high-Tc superconductors based on the t-J model
Electronic states around vortex cores in high-Tc superconductors are studied
using the two-dimensional t-J model in order to treat the d-wave
superconductivity with short coherence length and the antiferromagnetic (AF)
instability within the same framework. We focus on the disappearance of the
large zero-energy peak in the local density of states observed in high-Tc
superconductors. When the system is near the optimum doping, we find that the
local AF correlation develops inside the vortex cores. However, the detailed
doping dependence calculations confirm that the experimentally observed
reduction of the zero-energy peak is more reasonably attributed to the
smallness of the core size rather than to the AF correlation developed inside
the core. The correlation between the spatial dependence of the core states and
the core radius is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Quasiparticle States at a d-Wave Vortex Core in High-Tc Superconductors: Induction of Local Spin Density Wave Order
The local density of states (LDOS) at one of the vortex lattice cores in a
high Tc superconductor is studied by using a self-consistent mean field theory
including interactions for both antiferromagnetism (AF) and d-wave
superconductivity (DSC). The parameters are chosen in such a way that in an
optimally doped sample the AF order is completely suppressed while DSC
prevails. In the mixed state, we show that the local AF-like SDW order appears
near the vortex core and acts as an effective local magnetic field on the
quasiparticles. As a result, the LDOS at the core exhibits a double-peak
structure near the Fermi level that is in good agreement with the STM
observations on YBCO and BSCCO. The presence of local AF order near the votex
core is also consistent with the recent neutron scattering experiment on LSCO.Comment: 4 pages, 2 ps figure
Single Impurity Problem in Iron-Pnictide Superconductors
Single impurity problem in iron-pnictide superconductors is investigated by
solving Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equation in the five-orbital model, which
enables us to distinguish s and s superconducting states. We
construct a five-orbital model suitable to BdG analysis. This model reproduces
the results of random phase approximation in the uniform case. Using this
model, we study the local density of states around a non-magnetic impurity and
discuss the bound-state peak structure, which can be used for distinguishing
s and s states. A bound state with nearly zero-energy is found
for the impurity potential eV, while the bound state peaks stick to
the gap edge in the unitary limit. Novel multiple peak structure originated
from the multi-orbital nature of the iron pnictides is also found.Comment: 5 page
Antiferromagnetic phase transition in four-layered high-T_c superconductors Ba_2Ca_3Cu_4O_8(F_yO_{1-y})_2 with T_c=55-102 K: Cu- and F-NMR studies
We report on magnetic characteristics in four-layered high-T_c
superconductors Ba_2Ca_3Cu_4O_8(F_yO_{1-y})_2 with apical fluorine through Cu-
and F-NMR measurements. The substitution of oxygen for fluorine at the apical
site increases the carrier density (N_h) and T_c from 55 K up to 102 K. The NMR
measurements reveal that antiferromagnetic order, which can uniformly coexist
with superconductivity, exists up to N_h = 0.15, which is somewhat smaller than
N_h = 0.17 being the quantum critical point (QCP) for five-layered compounds.
The fact that the QCP for the four-layered compounds moves to a region of lower
carrier density than for five-layered ones ensures that the decrease in the
number of CuO_2 layers makes an interlayer magnetic coupling weaker.Comment: 7 pages, 6 gigures, Submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Vortex structure in chiral p-wave superconductors
We investigate the vortex structure in chiral p-wave superconductors by the
Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory on a tight-binding model. We calculate the spatial
structure of the pair potential and electronic state around a vortex, including
the anisotropy of the Fermi surface and superconducting gap structure. The
differences of the vortex structure between -wave
and -wave superconductors are clarified in the
vortex lattice state. We also discuss the winding case of the
-wave superconductivity.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
Quasiparticles of d-wave superconductors in finite magnetic fields
We study quasiparticles of d-wave superconductors in the vortex lattice by
self-consistently solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. It is found for a
pure state that: (i) low-energy quasiparticle bands in the
magnetic Brillouin zone have rather large dispersion even in low magnetic
fields, indicating absense of bound states for an isolated vortex; (ii) in
finite fields with small, the calculated tunneling conductance at
the vortex core shows a double-peak structure near zero bias, as qualitatively
consistent with the STM experiment by Maggio-Aprile et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett.
{\bf 75} (1995) 2754]. We also find that mixing of a - or an s-wave
component, if any, develops gradually without transitions as the field is
increased, having little effect on the tunneling spectra.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, LaTe
Reduction of the Superfluid Density in the Vortex-Liquid Phase of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy
In-plane complex surface impedance of a Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystal was
measured in the mixed state at 40.8 GHz.The surface reactance, which is
proportional to the real part of the effective penetration depth, increased
rapidly just above the first-order vortex-lattice melting transition field and
the second magnetization peak field.This increase is ascribed to the decrease
in the superfluid density rather than the loss of pinning.This result indicates
that the vortex melting transition changes the electronic structure as well as
the vortex structure.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
