High-TC superconductivity in La3Ni2O7 based on the bilayer two-orbital t-J model
Abstract
The recently discovered high-TC superconductor La3Ni2O7 has sparked renewed interest in the unconventional superconductivity. Here we study superconductivity in pressurized La3Ni2O7 based on a bilayer two-orbital t-J model, using the renormalized mean-field theory. Our results reveal a robust s-wave pairing driven by the inter-layer dz2 magnetic coupling, which exhibits a transition temperature within the same order of magnitude as the experimentally observed Tc 80 K. We establish a comprehensive superconducting phase diagram in the doping plane. Notably, the La3Ni2O7 under pressure is found situated roughly in the optimal doping regime of the phase diagram. When the dx2-y2 orbital becomes close to half-filling, d-wave and d+is pairing can emerge from the system. We discuss the interplay between Fermi surface topology and different pairing symmetries. The stability of the s-wave pairing against Hund's coupling and other magnetic exchange couplings is discussed.
