Phase transition between d-wave and anisotropic s-wave gaps in high temperature oxides superconductors
read the original abstract
We study models for superconductivity with two interactions: $V^>$ due to antiferromagnetic(AF) fluctuations and $V^<$ due to phonons, in a weak coupling approach to the high temperature superconductivity. The nature of the two interactions are considerably different; $V^>$ is positive and sharply peaked at ($\pm\pi$,$ \pm\pi$) while $V^<$ is negative and peaked at ($0,0$) due to weak phonon screening. We numerically find (a) weak BCS attraction is enough to have high critical temperature if a van Hove anomaly is at work, (b) $V^>$ (AF) is important to give d-wave superconductivity, (c) the gap order parameter $\Delta({\bf k})$ is constant(s-wave) at extremely overdope region and it changes to anisotropic s-wave as doping is reduced, (d) there exists a first order phase transition between d-wave and anisotropic s-wave gaps. These results are qualitatively in agreement with preceding works; they should be modified in the strongly underdope region by the presence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations and ensuing AF pseudogap.
