Abstract

Interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity is studied by using the 3-dimensional nearly half-filled Hubbard model with anisotropic transfer matrices tzt_{\rm z} and tt_{\perp}. The phase diagrams are calculated for varying values of the ratio rz=tz/tr_{\rm z}=t_{\rm z}/t_{\perp} using the spin fluctuation theory within the fluctuation-exchange approximation. The antiferromagnetic phase around the half-filled electron density expands while the neighboring phase of the anisotropic dx2y2d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave superconductivity shrinks with increasing rzr_{\rm z}. For small rzr_{\rm z} TcT_{\rm c} decreases slowly with increasing rzr_{\rm z}. For moderate values of rzr_{\rm z} we find the second order transition, with lowering temperature, from the dx2y2d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave superconducting phase to a phase where incommensurate SDW coexists with dx2y2d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave superconductivity. Resonance peaks as were discussed previously for 2D superconductors are shown to survive in the dx2y2d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave superconducting phase of 3D systems. Soft components of the incommensurate SDW spin fluctuation mode grow as the coexistent phase is approached.
