Pairing on striped $t$-$t'$-$J$ lattices

Abstract

Results are given from a density matrix renormalization group study of pairing on a striped $t$-$t'$-$J$ lattice in the presence of boundary magnetic and pair fields. We find that pairing on a stripe depends sensitively on both $J/t$ and $t'/t$. In the strong-pairing model-parameter regime the stripes are easily coupled by the pair field, and have a uniform phase. There is a small but measurable energy cost to create anti-phase superconducting domain walls.
