Doping dependence of Meissner effect in triangular-lattice superconductors

Superconductivity 2015-09-28 v2

Abstract

In the spin-excitation-mediated pairing mechanism for superconductivity, the geometric frustration effects not only the spin configuration but also the superconducting-state properties. Within the framework of the kinetic-energy-driven superconducting mechanism, the doping and temperature dependence of the Meissner effect in triangular-lattice superconductors is investigated. It is shown that the magnetic-field-penetration depth exhibits an exponential temperature dependence due to the absence of the d-wave gap nodes at the Fermi surface. However, in analogy to the dome-like shape of the doping dependence of the superconducting transition temperature, the superfluid density increases with increasing doping in the lower doped regime, and reaches a maximum around the critical doping, then decreases in the higher doped regime.
