Superconducting phase diagram of itinerant antiferromagnets

Abstract

We study the phase diagram of the Hubbard model in the weak-coupling limit for coexisting spin-density-wave order and spin-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity. Both longitudinal and transverse spin fluctuations contribute significantly to the effective interaction potential, which creates Cooper pairs of the quasi-particles of the antiferromagnetic metallic state. We find a dominant $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave solution in both electron- and hole-doped cases. In the quasi-spin triplet channel, the longitudinal fluctuations give rise to an effective attraction supporting a $p$-wave gap, but are overcome by repulsive contributions from the transverse fluctuations which disfavor $p$-wave pairing compared to $d_{x^2-y^2}$. The sub-leading pair instability is found to be in the $g$-wave channel, but complex admixtures of $d$ and $g$ are not energetically favored since their nodal structures coincide. Inclusion of interband pairing, in which each fermion in the Cooper pair belongs to a different spin-density-wave band, is considered for a range of electron dopings in the regime of well-developed magnetic order. We demonstrate that these interband pairing gaps, which are non-zero in the magnetic state, must have the same parity under inversion as the normal intraband gaps. The self-consistent solution to the full system of five coupled gap equations give intraband and interband pairing gaps of $d_{x^2-y^2}$ structure and similar gap magnitude. In conclusion, the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ gap dominates for both hole and electron doping inside the spin-density-wave phase.
