Phase transition between d-wave and anisotropic s-wave gaps in high temperature oxides superconductors

Abstract

We study models for superconductivity with two interactions: V>V^> due to antiferromagnetic(AF) fluctuations and V<V^< due to phonons, in a weak coupling approach to the high temperature superconductivity. The nature of the two interactions are considerably different; V>V^> is positive and sharply peaked at (±π\pm\pi,±π \pm\pi) while V<V^< is negative and peaked at (0,00,0) due to weak phonon screening. We numerically find (a) weak BCS attraction is enough to have high critical temperature if a van Hove anomaly is at work, (b) V>V^> (AF) is important to give d-wave superconductivity, (c) the gap order parameter Δ(k)\Delta({\bf k}) is constant(s-wave) at extremely overdope region and it changes to anisotropic s-wave as doping is reduced, (d) there exists a first order phase transition between d-wave and anisotropic s-wave gaps. These results are qualitatively in agreement with preceding works; they should be modified in the strongly underdope region by the presence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations and ensuing AF pseudogap.
