Possible Realization of Odd Frequency Pairing in Heavy Fermion Compounds

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

Using Majorana Fermions to represent spins we re-examine the Kondo Lattice model for heavy fermions. The simplest decoupling procedure provides a realization of odd frequency superconductivity, with resonant pairing and surfaces of gap zeros. Spin and charge coherence factors vanish linearly with the energy on the Fermi surface, predicting a linear specific heat, but a T3T^3 NMR relaxation rate. Possible application to heavy fermions is suggested.
