Mott Insulator to high \tc Superconductor via Pressure: Resonating Valence Bond theory and prediction of new Systems

arXiv:cond-mat/0211107 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.197007

Abstract

Mott insulator superconductor transition, via pressure and no external doping, is studied in orbitally non degenerate spin-\half systems. It is presented as another RVB route to high \tc superconductivity. We propose a `strong coupling' hypothesis which helps to view first order Mott transition as a self doping process that also preserves superexchange on metal side . We present a generalized t-J model where a conserved doubly occupied () sites and empty sites () hop in the background of singly singly occupied (neutral) sites in a lattice of N sites. An equivalence to the regular t-J model is made and some old and new systems are predicted to be candidates for pressure induced high \tc superconductivity.
