Superconductivity and Magnetism in Non-centrosymmetric System: Application to CePt_3Si
Abstract
Superconductivity and magnetism in the non-centrosymmetric heavy fermion compound CePtSi and related materials are theoretically investigated. Based on the randam phase approximation (RPA) analysis for the extended Hubbard model we describe the helical spin fluctuation induced by the Rashba-type anti-symmetric spin-orbit coupling and identify the two stable superconducting phases with either dominantly p-wave ( + -wave) or d-wave ( + + -wave) symmetry. The influcnce of the coexistent anti-ferromagnetic order is investigated in both states. The SC order parameter, quasiparticle density of state, NMR , specific heat, anisotropy of and possible multiple phase transitions are discussed in details. The comparison with experimental results indicates that the + -wave superconducting state is likely realized in CePtSi.
