Abstract

This work is based on the double correlated linear aggregations of holes in checkerboard geometry. It is proved that the pairing function symmetry is - d(x*x-y*y), as been observed experimentally. It is also shown that there is a "superconductive spin gap" for the observation of the magnetic incommensurate modulation peaks, in agreement with experiment. In addition, the unperturbed Hamiltonian is reanalyzed and modified.

Obstructed Cooper pairs in flat band systems -- weakly-coherent superfluids and exact spin liquids

Superconductivity in a partially filled flat band presents a vexing conceptual hurdle because the absence of a Fermi surface precludes a weak-coupling regime where one can extend insights from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer picture of a Fermi surface instability. We approach the strongly correlated problem of flat band superconductivity from the strong coupling limit of local attractive interactions on line-graph lattices, whose non-interacting bandstructures host exactly flat bands due to frustrated hopping. In this limit, the pair kinetic energy which sets the superfluid stiffness is expected to scale inversely with the pair binding interaction. Here we demonstrate a striking counterexample. We show that when doped charges propagate on the line-graph of a lattice with strong pairing interaction and broken time-reversal symmetry, they bind into obstructed Cooper pairs whose motion is frustrated by destructive interference. As a result, the leading-order pair kinetic energy vanishes identically in the strong-coupling expansion, producing a flat bosonic band of compact localised pair states, zero superfluid stiffness at leading order, and an extensively degenerate many-body ground state manifold. At quarter filling, the frustrated pair dynamics maps onto a quantum dimer model which has a $d$-wave resonating-valence-bond ground state when time-reversal is broken. The pairing Hamiltonian in this limit thus has a topologically ordered spin liquid ground state which becomes exact at the analytically solvable Rokhsar-Kivelson point with long-range entanglement and deconfined holon excitations. Interestingly, we find exact compact localised eigenstates and extensive degeneracies in the many-body eigenstates of this emergent dimer model. Our results establish a disorder-free mechanism for interaction-driven localisation, in which strong pairing collapses the kinetic energy of Cooper pairs.

Comment on "Topography of Fermi arcs in t-PtBi$_2$ using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy" arXiv:2503.08841 (cond-mat)

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy have established surface superconductivity in the Weyl semimetal t-PtBi$_2$, whereas O'Leary et al. concluded from an independent ARPES experiment that superconducting signatures are absent above 3 K. Here we reanalyze the complete deposited data of O'Leary et al. Using only experimentally determined momentum-distribution-curve (MDC) maxima, energy-distribution-curve (EDC) peak positions, and leading edges, we find a strongly anisotropic low-energy gap and dispersion back-bending that closely reproduce the magnitude and angular dependence reported independently by Changdar et al. We further show that the temperature-dependent data of Ref.~\cite{Oleary} originate from the other surface termination and were presented using temperature-dependent energy translations, momentum translations, and momentum rescalings. Registering the original temperature-dependent datasets using the metallic bulk Fermi cutoff reveals finite gaps of approximately 2, 2, 1, and 0.8 meV at the four Fermi crossings. Thus the independently acquired data of O'Leary et al., obtained on different samples and with a different photon energy, confirm rather than contradict the previously reported anisotropic superconducting gap and additionally show that an anisotropic low-energy suppression persists to 19 K.

Pressure-induced unconventional charge-density-wave states in kagome metal AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs)

Since the discovery of charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity, kagome metal AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) provides a new platform for exploring novel many-body quantum phenomena. In CsV3Sb5, a stripe-like CDW with commensurate wave vector q = 3/8 was observed under moderate pressures, which leads to a peculiar superconducting double-dome behavior in pressure-dependent phase diagram. Previous density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the pressure-induced stripe-like CDW is beyond conventional phonon softening scenario, suggesting a nontrivial role of electronic correlations. However, an in-depth understanding for the pressure-induced unconventional CDW remains elusive. Here, we performed pressure-dependent 51V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on KV3Sb5 and RbV3Sb5. Although the superconducting double-dome behavior is absent in pressurized KV3Sb5 and RbV3Sb5, a pressure-induced CDW phase, ascribed to a possible incommensurate triple-Q CDW, is identified by NMR spectra in both materials, indicating that the pressure-induced unconventional CDW beyond DFT calculations is a common feature for kagome metal AV3Sb5. In contrast to the stripe-like CDW, the pressure-induced incommensurate triple-Q CDW does not strongly suppress the superconducting temperature (Tc) but coincide with an almost plateau behavior at intermediate pressure regime in the pressure-dependent superconducting phase diagram. Furthermore, by systematically analyzing the Korringa relation between Knight shift and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate in AV3Sb5, van Hove singularities (vHSs) driven electronic fluctuations are revealed as an effective knob for the pressure-induced unconventional CDW. Finally, our present findings underscore the pressure-induced unconventional CDW as a novel correlated quantum state in kagome metal AV3Sb5.
