摘要:

局部非中心对称材料因与亚晶格自由度相关的独特现象而备受关注。最近发现的重费米子超导体CeRh₂As₂就是这类材料的典型例子,其温度 - 磁场相图引人注目。为研究CeRh₂As₂中有序相的复杂相互作用,我们基于对Bogoliubov - de Gennes哈密顿量和朗道方法的对称性分析开发了理论框架。该方法能提出超导态可能的对称性并阐明其与磁性的紧密关系。例如,只有当层内自旋轨道耦合比层间跳跃大时,才能自然解释两种配对对称性的近简并性。我们还发现一阶转变可解释为相同超导序参量共存相之间的转变,这条线可能在超导临界温度以下的临界端点结束。我们的方法能准确重现不同温度以及面外和面内磁场下的当前实验相图,还计算了磁化率和比热并与近期实验结果比较。

英文摘要:

Locally noncentrosymmetric materials are attracting significant attention due to the unique phenomena associated with sublattice degrees of freedom. The recently discovered heavy-fermion superconductor CeRh$_2$As$_2$ has emerged as a compelling example of this class, garnering widespread interest for its remarkable temperature-magnetic-field phase diagram, which features a field-induced first-order superconductor-to-superconductor phase transition with nontrivial dependence on the field direction and high critical fields, as well as antiferromagnetic and potentially higher multipole orders. To investigate the complex interplay of the ordered phases in CeRh$_2$As$_2$, we develop a theoretical framework based on symmetry analysis applied to a Bogoliubov--de Gennes Hamiltonian and Landau methods. This approach allows us to propose probable symmetries of the superconducting states and elucidate their close relationship with magnetism. Among other results, we find that the near degeneracy of two pairing symmetries is naturally explained if and only if intralayer spin-orbit coupling is large compared to interlayer hopping. Intriguingly, we find that the first-order transition can be interpreted as a transition between coexistence phases of the same superconducting order parameters, albeit with distinct admixtures. This line may end in a critical end point below the superconducting critical temperature. Our approach accurately reproduces current experimental phase diagrams for varying temperature as well as out-of-plane and in-plane magnetic field, both if the transition to a magnetic phase occurs below the superconducting critical temperature and if it occurs above. Furthermore, we calculate the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat and compare these quantities to recent experimental results.
