Superconductivity in strongly correlated systems for local repulsive interactions

The understanding of the mechanisms responsible for superconductivity in strongly correlated systems is an interesting and important subject in condensed matter physics. Several theoretical proposals were considered for these systems. The Coulomb interaction between electrons allow a new approach to study this problem. In this paper, we use a usual Hubbard model with a local repulsive interaction to describe a 2D system. The system of equations are solved using the Green's functions method, within a Hubbard-I mean field approximation, which allows to treat the strong interaction limit. We consider both cases of attractive and repulsive interactions and obtain the zero temperature phase diagram of the model. Our results show, in the repulsive case, the existence of a superconducting ground state mediated by the kinetic electronic energy and described by a non-local order parameter. A minimum value of the repulsive interaction $U_{min}$ is required to create a pairing state. At finite temperatures, for strong interactions, the critical temperature $T_c$ shows a saturation similar to the Bose-Einstein condensation observed for strong attractive interactions.

Nonequilibrium study of the $J_{1}-J_{2}$ Ising model with random $J_{2}$ couplings in the square lattice

We studied the critical behavior of the $J_{1}-J_{2}$ spin-{1/2} Ising model in the square lattice by considering $J_{1}$ fixed and $J_{2}$ as random interactions following discrete and continuous probability distribution functions. The configuration of $J_{2}$ in the lattice evolves in time through a competing kinetics using Monte Carlo simulations leading to a steady state without reaching the free-energy minimization. However, the resulting non-equilibrium phase diagrams are, in general, qualitatively similar to those obtained with quenched randomness at equilibrium in past works. Accordingly, through this dynamics the essential critical behavior at finite temperatures can be grasped for this model. The advantage is that simulations spend less computational resources, since the system does not need to be replicated or equilibrated with Parallel Tempering. A special attention was given for the value of the amplitude of the correlation length at the critical point of the superantiferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition.

Cooper-pair size and binding energy for unconventional superconducting systems

The main proposal of this paper is to analyze the size of the Cooper pairs composed by unbalanced mass fermions from different electronic bands along the BCS-BEC crossover and study the binding energy of the pairs. We are considering an interaction between fermions with different masses leading to an inter-band pairing. In addiction to the attractive interaction we have an hybridization term to couple both bands, which in general acts unfavorable for the pairing between the electrons. We get first order phase transitions as the hybridization break the Cooper pairs for the the $s$-wave symmetry of the gap amplitude. The results show the dependence of the Cooper-pair size as a function of the hybridization for $T=0$. We also propose the structure of the binding energy of the inter-band system as a function of the two-bands quasi-particle energies.

The spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model with competing short- and long-range interactions

The phase diagrams of the spin-$3/2$ Blume-Capel model with competing short and long-range interactions were studied through the free energy density obtained by analytical methods. The competition emerges when positive short-range interactions of strength $K$ arranged in a linear chain tend to establish an anti-parallel spin order, whereas negative long-range interactions $-J$ tend to align them in parallel. Thus, no ferromagnetic order exists for $K/J > 0.25$. So, the phase-diagrams were scanned by varying the values of $K$ in this interval. As in other similar study done for the spin-1 case, the second-order frontier separating the ferromagnetic and the paramagnetic phases is transformed gradually into a first-order line, when $K/J$ is greater than a certain critical value. Accordingly, there is a subinterval of $K$, for which two tricritical points appear restricting the length of the second-order frontier. Nevertheless, for greater values of $K/J$, the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic frontier becomes wholly of first order. Also, the tipical coexistence line, which divides two different ferromagnetic phases of magnetization $m=3/2$ and $m=1/2$, becomes more complex by giving rise to another line of coexistence with a reentrant behavior that encloses a third ordered phase. In this case, the competition is such that there is a region in the phase diagram, where for each spin $i$ with $S_{i}=3/2$ ($S_{i}=-3/2$), there is another one spin $j$ with $S_{j}=-1/2$ ($S_{j}=1/2$), so the absolute value of the magnetization per spin is one.
