On the Theory of "Odd"-Pairing Superconductors

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We consider the model of superconducting pairing with the energy gap function which is odd over kkFk-k_{F}.\ In this case superconductivity is possible even in the presence of an arbitrarily large point-like repulsion between electrons,\ which is attractive for the theory of high-temperature superconductors.\ We discuss mainly a model pairing interaction for which the BCS equations can be solved exactly,\ allowing the complete analysis of the interplay of the usual (``even'') and ``odd'' pairing,\ depending on the coupling constant.\ We also show that the normal impurities (disorder) lead to a rapid degradation of the ``odd'' pairing,\ which is even more rapid than in case of magnetic impurities in traditional superconductors.
