Phase diagram of s-wave SC Introduction The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov states of a 2D square-lattice in s and d-wave superconductor with bandwidth imbalance Yonghui Wang and Yan Chen Department of physics and Lab of Advanced Materials, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200438 Abstract We present a numerical study of the phase diagram for a two-dimensional square-lattice s and d-wave superconducting system with bandwidth imbalance by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. It is found that, the spatial configuration of the order parameter should include both the uni-directional Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, and the two-dimensional FFLO state by varying the bandwidth imbalance. Local density of states spectra could be used to distinguish these exotic phases. Phase diagram of s-wave SC Introduction We consider the superconducting systems with effective bandwidth imbalance between different spins. We numerically observe the order parameter for increasing the degree of bandwidth mismatch increases, the system is transformed from the uniform BCS state to the FFLO state, and finally to the spin polarized normal state. β-T phase diagram for uniform s-wave, uni-directional FFLO, 2D FFLO and FM states as calculated in s-wave superconductors. Here, Tc0 ≈ 0.19 is the SC transition temperature. FFLO state: Cooper pairs have non-zero momentum; Pairing gap becomes a spatially varying function; Translational invariance broken Local density of states The local density of states (LDOS) are calculated and suggested to be signatures to distinguish different phases . The LDOS can be calculated from: Model We study a phenomenological tight-binding model on a two-dimensional square lattice, The mean-field Hamiltonian can be written as: For uni-directional FFLO in s-wave SC (a) The contour plot of the uni-directional FFLO order parameter. (b) The spin-up LDOS at three different location corresponding to a (nodal line), b (middle line), and c (maximum line) are shown in (a). Similarly, (c) shows total spin LDOS spectrum. (d) represents the LDOS map for spin quasiparticles at energy-peak [E = -0.172] in (c).

By increasing the degree of bandwidth mismatch of spin-up and spin-down, a transition between uni-directional FFLO states and 2D FFLO states may appear both in s and d-wave superconductor. The LDOS spectrum can be used to distinguish different FFLO phases. Spatial variations of the order parameter for various bandwidth imbalance in s-wave superconductor.
