Theory of chiral p-wave superconductivity with near-nodes for Sr2RuO4
Abstract
We use functional renormalization group method to study a three-orbital model for superconducting Sr2RuO4. Although the pairing symmetry is found to be chiral p-wave, the atomic spin-orbit coupling induces near-nodes for quasiparticle excitations. Our theory explains a major experimental puzzle between d-wave-like feature observed in thermal experiments and the chiral p-wave triplet pairing revealed in nuclear-magnetic-resonance and Kerr effect.
