Coexistence of d-wave superconductivity and antiferromagnetism induced by paramagnetic depairing

Superconductivity 2015-05-19 v2

Abstract

It is shown theoretically that, in the superconducting state with dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2}-pairing, a strong Pauli paramagnetic depairing (PD) induces not only the modulated Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconducting state but also an incommensurate antiferromagnetic (AFM) (or spin-density wave) ordering with Q{\bf Q}-vector nearly paralle to a gap node. This intrinsic mechanism of field-induced coexistence of the dd-wave superconducting and AFM orders does not need to assume a pair-density wave but is enhanced by the FFLO ordering. It is argued that this is the common origin of {\it both} the coexistent FFLO and AFM phases of CeCoIn5_5 {\it and} the AFM quantum critical behavior around the superconducting Hc2(0)H_{c2}(0) seen in several heavy fermion superconductors and overdoped cuprates.
