Quantum Monte Carlo study of the pairing symmetry competition in the Hubbard model
Abstract
To shed light into the pairing mechanism of possible spin-triplet superconductors (TMTSF)2X and Sr2RuO4, we study the competition among various spin singlet and triplet pairing channels in the Hubbard model by calculating the pairing interaction vertex using the ground state quantum Monte Carlo technique. We model (TMTSF)2X by a quarter-filled quasi-one dimensional (quasi-1D) Hubbard model,and the γ band of Sr2RuO4 by a two dimensional (2D) Hubbard model with a band filling of 4/3. For the quasi-1D system, we find that triplet f-wave pairing not only dominates over triplet p-wave in agreement with the spin fluctuation theory, but also looks unexpectedly competitive against d-wave. For the 2D system, although the results suggest presence of attractive interaction in the triplet pairing channels, the d-wave pairing interaction is found to be larger than those of the triplet channels.
