Cooper problem in a cuprate lattice
Abstract
We solve the Cooper problem in a cuprate lattice by utilizing a three-band model. We determine the ground state of a Cooper pair for repulsive on-site interactions, and demonstrate that the corresponding wave function has an orbital dx2-y2 symmetry. We discuss the influence of next-nearest-neighbor tunneling on the Cooper pair solution, in particular the necessity of next-nearest-neighbor tunneling for having d-wave pairs for hole-doped systems. We also propose experimental signatures of the d-wave Cooper pairs for a cold-atom system in a cuprate lattice.
