Theory of coexistence of superconductivity and ferroelectricity
Abstract
A new investigation of the coexistence and competition of ferroelectricity and superconductivity is reported. In particular we show that the starting Hamiltonian of a previous study by Birman and Weger (2001) can be exactly diagonalized. The result differs significantly from mean-field theory. A Hamiltonian with a different realization of the coupling between ferroelectricity and superconductivity is proposed. We report the results for mean-field theory applied to this Hamiltonian. We find that the order parameters are strongly affected by this coupling.
