Spin Fluctuation Induced Superconductivity Controlled by Orbital Fluctuation

Abstract

A microscopic Hamiltonian reflecting the correct symmetry of $f$-orbitals is proposed to discuss superconductivity in heavy fermion systems. In the orbitally degenerate region in which not only spin fluctuations but also orbital fluctuations develop considerably, cancellation between spin and orbital fluctuations destabilizes $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductivity. Entering the non-degenerate region by increasing the crystalline electric field, $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductivity mediated by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations emerges out of the suppression of orbital fluctuations. We argue that the present scenario can be applied to recently discovered superconductors CeTIn${}_5$ (T=Ir, Rh, and Co).
