非中心对称超导体的Ginzburg-Landau理论

Ginzburg-Landau theory of noncentrosymmetric superconductors

Soumya P. Mukherjee, Sudhansu S. Mandal

摘要:

在Li $_2$ Pd $_3$ B和Li $_2$ Pt $_3$ B中的温度依赖性超流密度$n_s(T)$的数据[Yuan { \it et al.},\phrl 97,017006(2006)]表明,在略低于临界温度时发生$n_s (T)$斜率的突然变化。基于这一发现,我们在微观上导出了具有Rashba型自旋轨道相互作用的非中心对称超导体的Ginzburg-Landau(GL)方程。库珀配对被假定为只发生在同一自旋分裂带中的电子之间,并且允许在两个自旋分裂带之间发生对散射。这种系统的GL理论预测了两个转变温度,其中较高的是传统的临界温度$T_c$,而较低的一个$T^*$对应于从较低温度下的混合单重态-三重态相到较高温度下的仅自旋单重态或自旋三重态(取决于带间散射势的符号)相的交叉。因此,$n_s (T)$在该交叉温度下显示扭结。我们将观测到的$n_s (T)$中斜率发生突变的温度归因于温度$T^*$。这也可能与CePt $_3$ Si的穿透深度数据中观察到的扭结有关。我们还估算了临界温度附近的临界场。

英文摘要:

The data of temperature dependent superfluid density $n_s(T)$ in Li$_2$Pd$_3$B and Li$_2$Pt$_3$B [Yuan {\it et al.}, \phrl97, 017006 (2006)] show that a sudden change of the slope of $n_s (T)$ occur at slightly lower than the critical temperature. Motivated by this observation, we microscopically derive the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations for noncentrosymmetric superconductors with Rashba type spin orbit interaction. Cooper pairing is assumed to occur between electrons only in the same spin split band and pair scattering is allowed to occur between two spin split bands. The GL theory of such a system predicts two transition temperatures, the higher of which is the conventional critical temperature $T_c$ while the lower one $T^*$ corresponds to the cross-over from a mixed singlet-triplet phase at lower temperatures to only spin-singlet or spin-triplet (depending on the sign of the interband scattering potential) phase at higher temperatures. As a consequence, $n_s (T)$ shows a kink at this cross-over temperature. We attribute the temperature at which sudden change of slope occurs in the observed $n_s (T)$ to the temperature $T^*$. This may also be associated with the observed kink in the penetration depth data of CePt$_3$Si. We have also estimated critical field near critical temperature.
