Theory of Higgs Modes in $d$-Wave Superconductors

Abstract

By applying a microscopic gauge-invariant kinetic theory in $d$-wave superconductors, we analytically derive the energy spectra of the breathing Higgs mode and, in particular, rotating Higgs mode that is unique for the $d$-wave order parameter. Analytical investigation on their dynamic properties is also revealed. We show that the breathing Higgs mode is optically visible in the second-order regime. Whereas the rotating Higgs mode is optically inactive, we show that this mode can be detected in the pseudogap phase by magnetic resonance experiment. It is interesting to find that with a longitudinal temperature gradient, the charge-neutral rotating Higgs mode generates a thermal Hall current by magnetic field in the pseudogap phase, providing a unique scheme for its detection.
