Probing the pairing interaction and multiple Bardasis-Schrieffer modes using Raman spectroscopy

Superconductivity 2017-01-04 v1

Abstract

In unconventional superconductors, understanding the form of the pairing interaction is the primary goal. In this regard, Raman spectroscopy is a very useful tool, as it identifies the ground state and also the subleading pairing channels by probing collective modes. Here we propose a general theory for multiband Raman response and identify new features in the spectrum that can provide a robust test for a pairing theory. We identify multiple Bardasis-Schrieffer type collective modes and connect the weights of these modes to the sub-leading gap structures within a microscopic pairing theory. The conclusions are completely general, and we apply our approach to interpret the B1g Raman scattering in hole-doped BaFe2As2.
