Superconducting fluctuations and charge-4$e$ plaquette state at strong coupling

Abstract

We apply the static auxiliary field Monte Carlo approach to study phase correlations of the pairing fields in a microscopic model with spin-singlet pairing interaction. We find that the short- and long-range phase correlations are well captured by the phase mutual information, which allows us to construct a theoretical phase diagram containing the uniform $d$-wave superconducting region, the phase fluctuating region, the local pairing region, and the disordered region. We show that the gradual development of phase coherence has a number of consequences on spectroscopic measurements, such as the development of the Fermi arc and the anisotropy in the angle-resolved spectra, scattering rate, entropy, specific heat, and quasiparticle dispersion, in good agreement with experimental observations. For strong coupling, our Monte Carlo simulation reveals an unexpected charge-4$e$ plaquette state with $d$-wave bonds, which competes with the uniform $d$-wave superconductivity and exhibits a U-shaped density of states.
