Competing and cooperating phenomena in high temperature superconductors
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In solid state physics, the presence of electron interactions leads to many interesting collective behaviors, such as superconductivity and magnetic and charge ordering. In particular, high temperature superconductors exhibit competing and cooperating phenomena due to the importance of charge, spin, structure, and orbital degrees of freedom. For iron pnictide superconductors, in some cases, their deep interplay may be present in experimental observations but only realized by accompanying theoretical considerations. In iron pnictides, mean field and T-matrix formalism expose the potential of tunneling experiments to deeply probe magneto-orbital cooperation. Additionally, angle-resolved photoemission displays the phenomenology of coexistent superconductivity and magnetism, which mean field considerations show to be a signal of fundamental competition between these two orders. Similarly, time-resolved X-ray diffraction displays structural deformations, the cooperative implications of which are revealed by considering the mean field effects of this deformation on magnetism. Finally, the focus shifts to fundamental studies of extended Hubbard models on superconductivity, where numerical exact diagonalization reveals competing charge phenomena. To understand interacting electron systems, experiments are vital, and sometimes a true appreciation is gained by accompanying theoretical studies.
