Abstract

We study the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconducting state in the disordered systems. We analyze the microscopic model, in which the d-wave superconductivity is stabilized near the antiferromagnetic quantum critical point, and investigate two kinds of disorder, namely, box disorder and point disorder, on the basis of the Bogoliubov-deGennes (BdG) equation. The spatial structure of modulated superconducting order parameter and the magnetic properties in the disordered FFLO state are investigated. We point out the possibility of "FFLO glass" state in the presence of strong point disorders, which arises from the configurational degree of freedom of FFLO nodal plane. The distribution function of local spin susceptibility is calculated and its relation to the FFLO nodal plane is clarified. We discuss the NMR measurements for CeCoIn_5.
