Strong-coupling high- superconductivity in doped correlated band insulators

Abstract

We explore the superconducting properties of the bilayer Hubbard model, which exhibits a high transition temperature () for an pairing, using a cluster extension of the dynamical mean-field theory. Unlike the single-layer Hubbard model, where the -wave superconductivity emerges by doping the Mott insulator, the parent state of the bilayer system is a correlated band insulator. Above , slight hole (electron) doping introduces a striking dichotomy between electron and hole pockets: the electron (hole) pocket develops a pseudogap while the other becomes a nearly incipient band. We reveal that the superconductivity is driven by kinetic (potential) energy gain in the underdoped (overdoped) region. We also find a very short coherence length, for which we argue the relevance to multi-orbital physics. Our study offers crucial insights into the superconductivity in the bilayer Hubbard model potentially relevant to LaNiO.
