Inherent spin density wave instability by vortices in superconductors with strong Pauli effects

Superconductivity 2011-04-14 v1

Abstract

A novel spin density wave (SDW) instability mechanism enhanced by vortices under fields is proposed to explain the high field and low temperature (HL) phase in CeCoIn5_5. In the vortex state the strong Pauli effect and the nodal gap conspire to enhance the momentum resolved spectral weight exclusively along the nodal direction over the normal value, providing a favorable nesting condition for SDW with Q=(2kF,2kF,0.5){\bf Q}=(2k_F, 2k_F, 0.5) only under high field (HH). Observed mysteries of the field-induced SDW confined within Hc2H_{c2} are understood consistently, such facts that Q{\bf Q} is directed to the nodal direction independent of HH, SDW diminishes under tilting field from the abab plane, and the SDW transition line in (H,T)(H,T) has a positive slope.
