常规超导体中杂质诱导的量子相变和磁序:束缚态与准粒子态的竞争

Impurity Induced Quantum Phase Transitions and Magnetic Order in Conventional Superconductors: Competition between Bound and Quasiparticle states

Silas Hoffman, Jelena Klinovaja, Tobias Meng, Daniel Loss

摘要:

我们从理论上研究了磁性杂质在传统的$s$波超导体中产生的束缚态,包括解析和数值计算。在确定两个这样的束缚态的杂交的影响作为磁交换耦合,相对磁化角,和杂质之间的距离的函数的能谱,我们发现,量子相变可以由这些参数中的每一个调制。伴随着这样的转变,杂质的优选自旋构型发生变化。虽然杂质自旋之间的相互作用主要由准粒子贡献决定,但系统的基态由束缚态能量决定。自洽计算超导序参量,我们发现当系统经历量子相变时,系统的不连续性由束缚态能量表示。

英文摘要:

We theoretically study bound states generated by magnetic impurities within conventional $s$-wave superconductors, both analytically and numerically. In determining the effect of the hybridization of two such bound states on the energy spectrum as a function of magnetic exchange coupling, relative angle of magnetization, and distance between impurities, we find that quantum phase transitions can be modulated by each of these parameters. Accompanying such transitions, there is a change in the preferred spin configuration of the impurities. Although the interaction between the impurity spins is overwhelmingly dominated by the quasiparticle contribution, the ground state of the system is determined by the bound state energies. Self-consistently calculating the superconducting order parameter, we find a discontinuity when the system undergoes a quantum phase transition as indicated by the bound state energies.
