Gossamer Superconductivity, New Paradigm?
read the original abstract
We shall review our recent works on d-wave density wave (dDW) and gossamer superconductivity (i.e. d-wave superconductivity in the presence of dDW) in high-T$_{c}$ cuprates and CeCoIn$_{5}$. a) We show that both the giant Nernst effect and the angle dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) in the pseudogap phases of the cuprates and CeCoIn$_{5}$ are manifestations of dDW. b) The phase diagram of high-T$_{c}$ cuprates is understood in terms of mean field theory, which includes two order parameters $\Delta_{1}$ and $\Delta_{2}$, where one order parameter is from dDW and the other from d-wave superconductivity. c) In the optimally to the overdoped region we find the spatially periodic dDW, an analogue of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, becomes more stable. d) In the underdoped region where $\Delta_{2}/\Delta_{1} \ll 1$ the Uemera relation is obtained within the present model. We speculate that the gossamer superconductivity is at the heart of high-T$_{c}$ cuprate superconductors, the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_{5}$ and the organic superconductors $\kappa$- (ET)$_{2}$Cu(NCS)$_{2}$ and (TMTSF)$_2$PF$_{6}$.
