铁基超导体中初始带存在时的电子配对

Electron pairing in the presence of incipient bands in iron-based superconductors

Xiao Chen, S. Maiti, A. Linscheid, P. J. Hirschfeld

摘要:

最近对某些铁基超导体的实验暗示了成对电子在接近但不穿过费米能级的“初始”能带中的作用。相关的理论工作不同意是否需要强耦合超导性来解释这种效应,以及是否存在临界相互作用强度。在这项工作中,我们考虑各种版本的模型问题的配对的电子在一个初始带的存在下,在一个简单的多带弱耦合BCS近似。我们将问题分为两种情况:情况(I),超导性产生的“初始带配对”单独的,和情况(II),它是诱导的初始带配对由于费米表面的相互作用。到目前为止,关于初始带的重要性的负面结论主要是基于情况(I),但我们明确表明,在情况(II)下的模型是定性不同的,可以解释的非指数抑制Tc,以及强大的初始带的大差距。在后一种情况下,初始带上的大间隙不需要临界相互作用强度。我们还模拟了声子和自旋涨落驱动的超导之间的相互作用,并描述了自旋涨落耦合的初始和规则带的电子-声子超导的自举。最后,我们讨论了初始带的维数对我们的结果的影响。我们认为,配对的初期带可能是显着的和重要的几个铁基材料,包括铁砷锂,铁硒插层和铁硒单层钛酸锶,在某些情况下,确实可能有助于高临界温度。

英文摘要:

Recent experiments on certain Fe-based superconductors have hinted at a role for paired electrons in "incipient" bands that are close to, but do not cross the Fermi level. Related theoretical works disagree on whether or not strong-coupling superconductivity is required to explain such effects, and whether a critical interaction strength exists. In this work, we consider various versions of the model problem of pairing of electrons in the presence of an incipient band, within a simple multiband weak-coupling BCS approximation. We categorize the problem into two cases: case(I) where superconductivity arises from the "incipient band pairing" alone, and case(II) where it is induced on an incipient band by pairing due to Fermi-surface based interactions. Negative conclusions regarding the importance of incipient bands have been drawn so far largely based on case(I), but we show explicitly that models under case(II) are qualitatively different, and can explain the non-exponential suppression of Tc, as well as robust large gaps on an incipient band. In the latter situation, large gaps on the incipient band do not require a critical interaction strength. We also model the interplay between phonon and spin fluctuation driven superconductivity and describe the bootstrap of electron-phonon superconductivity by spin fluctuations coupling the incipient and the regular bands. Finally, we discuss the effect of the dimensionality of the incipient band on our results. We argue that pairing on incipient bands may be significant and important in several Fe-based materials, including LiFeAs, FeSe intercalates and FeSe monolayers on strontium titanate, and indeed may contribute to high critical temperatures in some cases.
