Chiral Symmetry and Collective Excitations in p-wave, d-wave and f-wave Superconductors

Abstract

We discuss the origin of charge density wave (CDW) and spin density wave (SDW) in p-wave, d-wave and f-wave superconductors. To describe the low-energy quasiparticle excitation of p-wave case, we introduce a two- (one for time and one for space) dimensional massless Dirac model. After the non-Abelian bosonization is performed, the charge and spin density waves emerge from the model. By using this scheme, we try to explain the characteristic aspect of phase diagrams of various compounds, oxides and organic superconductors. The purpose of this paper is to make an argument that the dimensionality of the nodal excitation in superconductors plays an important role in the determination of the structure of the phase diagram.
