Spin-triplet paired phases inside ferromagnet induced by Hund's rule coupling and electronic correlations: Application to $\mathrm{UGe}_2$
Abstract
We discuss a mechanism of real-space spin-triplet pairing, alternative to that due to quantum paramagnon excitations, and demonstrate its applicability to . Both the Hund's rule ferromagnetic exchange and inter-electronic correlations contribute to the same extent to the equal-spin pairing, particularly in the regime in which the weak-coupling solution does not provide any. The theoretical results, obtained within the orbitally-degenerate Anderson lattice model, match excellently the observed phase diagram for with the coexistent ferromagnetic (FM1) and superconducting (-type) phase. Additionally, weak - and -type paired phases appear in very narrow regions near the metamaganetic (FM2 FM1) and FM1 paramagnetic first-order phase-transition borders, respectively. The values of magnetic moments in the FM2 and FM1 states are also reproduced correctly in a semiquantitative manner. The Hund's metal regime is also singled out as appearing near FM1-FM2 boundary.
