Inter-orbital singlet pairing in Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$: a Hund's superconductor

Abstract

We study the superconducting gap function of Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$. By solving the linearized Eliashberg equation with a correlated pairing vertex extracted from a dynamical mean-field calculation we identify the dominant pairing channels. An analysis of the candidate gap functions in orbital and quasiparticle band basis reveals that an inter-orbital singlet pairing of even parity is in agreement with experimental observations. It reconciles in particular the occurrence of a two-component order parameter with the presence of line-nodes of quasiparticles along the c-axis in the superconducting phase. The strong angular dependence of the gap along the Fermi surface is in stark contrast to its quasi-locality when expressed in the orbital basis. We identify local inter-orbital spin correlations as the driving force for the pairing and thus reveal the continuation of Hund's physics into the superconducting phase.
