铁基单电子袋超导体中的袋间配对和带隙对称性

Inter-pocket pairing and gap symmetry in Fe-based superconductors with only electron pockets

M. Khodas, A. V. Chubukov

摘要:

最近发现的具有高转变温度$T_c \sim 40$ K的铁基金属超导体AFe $_2$ Se $_2$(A = K,Rb,Cs)中的配对对称性是目前激烈争论的主题。根据光电发射,这些系统仅包含电子袋,并且与大多数铁基超导体不同,铁基超导体中存在电子袋和空穴袋。对于AFe $_2$ Se $_2$,d波和s波配对对称性都已经被提出,但是d波间隙通常具有节点,而实验清楚地指向无节点行为,并且常规的s波间隙与$T_c$以下的中子共振的观察不一致。我们认为,目前的理论在这样的系统中的配对是不完整的,必须包括不仅口袋内的配对冷凝物,但也属于不同的电子口袋的费米子口袋间的冷凝物。我们分析了口袋内和口袋间配对之间的相互作用,这取决于电子口袋的椭圆率和它们的杂交强度,并表明杂交使系统进入一个新的$s^{+-}$状态,在该状态下,杂交口袋之间的间隙改变符号。这种状态具有完整的能隙,同时支持自旋共振,与数据一致。在$s^{+-}$态的边界附近,我们发现了一个人们长期认为的破坏时间反演对称性的$s+id$态。

英文摘要:

Pairing symmetry in recently discovered Fe-based metallic superconductors AFe$_2$Se$_2$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) with high transition temperature $T_c \sim 40$ K is currently a subject of intensive debates. These systems contain only electron pockets, according to photoemission, and differ from the majority of Fe-based superconductors in which both electron and hole pockets are present. Both d-wave and s-wave pairing symmetries have been proposed for AFe$_2$Se$_2$, but a d-wave gap generally has nodes, while experiments clearly point to no-nodal behavior, and a conventional s-wave gap is inconsistent with the observation of the neutron resonance below $T_c$. We argue that current theories of pairing in such systems are incomplete and must include not only intra-pocket pairing condensate but also inter-pocket condensate made of fermions belonging to different electron pockets. We analyze the interplay between intra-pocket and inter-pocket pairing depending on the ellipticity of electron pockets and the strength of their hybridization and show that hybridization brings the system into a new $s^{+-}$ state, in which the gap changes sign between hybridized pockets. This state has the full gap and at the same time supports spin resonance, in agreement with the data. Near the boundary of $s^{+-}$ state we found a long-thought $s+id$ state which breaks time-reversal symmetry.
