Phase diagram of the pairing symmetry in two-dimensional strong-coupling superconductors

Abstract

Two-dimensional Eliashberg equations have been solved by use of a mixed interaction with $s$- and $d$-channels. It is discussed what kind of pairing symmetry of the superconducting state can be realized when the channel mixing parameters and the band-filling are varied. By changing the mixing parameters and varying the chemical potential $μ$ between zero- and half-filling, the pairing symmetry is determined and summarized into a phase diagram of the symmetry. It is revealed that there is an effective threshold in $μ$ for the appearance of the d-wave superconductivity regardless of the strength of the $d$-channel interaction. It is also shown that, although the s-wave superconductivity can occur for any value of $μ$ if the $s$-channel interaction is mixed sufficiently, the d-wave superconductivity has the advantage of achieving a high $T_{c}$ over the s-wave one, once it occurs.
