Possible singlet-to-triplet pairing transition inNaxCoO2·yH2O

Abstract: We present precise measurements of the upper critical field ͑H c2 ͒ in the recently discovered cobalt oxide superconductor. We have found that the critical field has an unusual temperature dependence; namely, there is an abrupt change of the slope of H c2 ͑T͒ in a weak-field regime. In order to explain this result we have derived and solved Gor'kov equations on a triangular lattice. Our experimental results may be interpreted in terms of the field-induced transition from singlet to triplet superconductivity.

“…Equation (2) gives the chemical potential µ(T ) as a function of the temperature and the conduction band filling 0 < n < 1 fixed for the normal metallic phase at T = 0. The chemical potential µ(T = 0), which allows us to control the carrier concentration n, in the case of half-filling is equal to zero [7,8,[10][11][12][13]. Since the conventional phonon-mediated pairing mechanism raises doubts, we assume a generic, boson--mediated, strongly anisotropic attraction mechanism providing pairing interaction in the spin-antisymmetric and the spin-symmetric channels [1,3,11].…”

“…In some more composed approaches superconductivity is considered as a mixture of coexisting local pairs and itinerant fermions coupled via a charge exchange mechanism [4,5], or additional terms of energy are included, such as the formation energy of the Zhang-Rice singlet [6] or the Peierls phase factor, responsible for the diamagnetic response of the system [7]. Such approaches, which find their origin in a proposed model of the anisotropic Fermi liquid [8], allow us to reveal various types of superconducting behavior.…”
