Spin-singlet and spin-triplet pairing correlations in antiferromagnetically coupled Kondo systems
arXiv:2109.12794
Abstract
Recent experiments in quantum critical heavy fermion metals have pushed to the fore the question about whether antiferromagnetic fluctuations can promote both spin-singlet and spin-triplet superconductivity. Here we address the issue through non-perturbative calculations in antiferromagnetically correlated Kondo systems. We identify Kondo-destruction quantum critical points in both the SU(2) symmetric and Ising-anisotropic cluster Bose-Fermi Anderson models. The spin-singlet pairing correlations are significantly enhanced near the quantum critical point in the SU(2) case; however, with adequate but still realistic degree of Ising anisotropy, the spin-triplet pairing correlations are competitive. Our results demonstrate that spin-flip processes strengthen the spin-singlet pairing at the Kondo-destruction quantum critical points, and point towards a way for antiferromagnetic correlations to drive spin-triplet pairing. Further implications of our findings in the broader context of strongly correlated superconductivity are discussed.
