用\muSR测量手征超导体的内禀磁场理论:Sr_2RuO_4的情况

Theory for Intrinsic Magnetic Field in Chiral Superconductor Measured by \muSR: Case of Sr_2RuO_4

Kazumasa Miyake, Atsushi Tsuruta

摘要:

通过求解二维正方晶格上的Bogoliubov-de Gennes方程,讨论了具有$p$波对称性的手征超导体Sr $_2$ RuO $_4$中,$μ^{+}$陷在间隙位置时产生的局域磁场.在模型哈密顿量中,捕获的$μ^{+}$提取电子在周围的Ru网站的效果被视为唯象的非磁性杂质的潜力,局部破坏手征超导秩序与$p$波对称性引起的局部循环电流周围$μ^{+}$网站。结果表明,在周期性边界条件下的局部磁场的大小远小于无$μ^{+}$的开边界条件下的局部磁场的大小,其中超导序破坏在表面边界处引起的表面电流的贡献相当于$\hbar N_{\rm s}/2$量级的内禀角动量,其中$N_{\rm s}$是超导电子数.这个结果定性地解释了为什么在Sr $_2$ RuO $_4$中用$μ$ SR测量的磁场$\simeq0.5$ G远小于预期的本征磁场$\simeq 50$ G,而本征磁场几乎与较低的临界场$H_{{\rm c}1}\simeq 50$ G相同。

英文摘要:

The local magnetic field induced by $μ^{+}$ trapped at an interstitial site in a chiral superconductor with $p$-wave symmetry, such as Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, is discussed by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation on the two-dimensional square lattice. In the model Hamiltonian, the effect of the trapped $μ^{+}$ extracting the electrons at surrounding Ru sites is phenomenologically taken into account as a non-magnetic impurity potential which locally destroys the chiral superconducting order with $p$-wave symmetry giving rise to local circulating current around $μ^{+}$ site. It is shown that the size of the induced local magnetic field in the case with periodic boundary condition is far smaller compared to the case with open boundary condition without $μ^{+}$, in which the surface current induced by destruction of superconducting order at the surface boundary gives contribution corresponding to the intrinsic angular momentum of the order of $\hbar N_{\rm s}/2$, with $N_{\rm s}$ being the number of superconducting electrons. This result qualitatively explains why the magnetic field $\simeq0.5$G measured by $μ$SR in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is far smaller than the expected intrinsic magnetic field $\simeq 50$G which is nearly the same as the lower critical field $H_{{\rm c}1}\simeq 50$G.
