Superconductivity with Wannier-Stark Flat Bands
arXiv:2307.09791 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.075153
Abstract
We investigate superconducting transport in the DC field induced Wannier-Stark flat bands in the presence of interactions. Flat bands offer the possibility of unconventional high temperature superconductivity, where the superfluid weight, , is enhanced by the density overlap of the localized states. However, construction of flat bands typically requires very precise tuning of Hamiltonian parameters. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a feasible alternative to realize flat bands by applying a DC field in a commensurate lattice direction. We systematically characterize the superconducting behavior on these flat bands by studying the effect of the DC field and attractive Hubbard interaction strengths on the wavefunction, correlation length, pairing order parameter and the superfluid weight . Our main result is that the superfluid weight is dramatically enhanced at an optimal value of the interaction strength and weak DC fields.
