Stripes, spin resonance and dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-pairing symmetry in FeSe-based layered superconductors

Abstract

We calculate RPA-BCS based spin resonance spectra of newly discovered iron-selenide superconductor using two orbitals tight-binding (TB) model. The slightly squarish electron pocket Fermi surfaces (FSs) at (π,0)/(0,π)(\pi,0)/(0,\pi)-momenta produce leading interpocket nesting instability at incommensurate vector q(π,0.5π)q\sim(\pi,0.5\pi) in the normal state static susceptibility, pinning a strong stripe-like spin-density wave (SDW) or antiferromagnetic (AFM) order at some critical value of UU. The same nesting also induces dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-pairing. The superconducting (SC) gap is nodeless and isotropic on the FSs as they are concentric to the four-fold symmetry point of the dd-wave gap maxima, in agreement with various measurements. This induces an slightly incommensurate spin resonance with `hour-glass'-like dispersion feature, in close agreement with neutron data of chalcogenides. We also calculate TT pendence of the SC gap solving BCS gap equations and find that the spin resonance follows the same TT evolution of Δ(T)\Delta(T) both in energy and intensity, suggesting that an itinerant weak or intermediate pair coupling theory is relevant in this system.Comment: 4.5 pages, 4 figures; Submitted (v2): Some types are corrected (v3): Expanded and published versio
