d-wave superconductivity and s-wave charge density waves: Coexistence between order parameters of different origin and symmetry (original) (raw)
A review of the theory describing the coexistence between d-wave superconductivity and s-wave charge-density-waves (CDWs) is presented. The CDW gapping is identified with pseudogapping observed in high-T c oxides. According to the cuprate specificity, the analysis is carried out for the two-dimensional geometry of the Fermi surface (FS). Phase diagrams on the σ 0 − α plane-here, σ 0 is the ratio between the energy gaps in the parent pure CDW and superconducting states, and the quantity 2α is connected with the degree of dielectric (CDW) FS gapping-were obtained for various possible configurations of the order parameters in the momentum space. Relevant tunnel and photoemission experimental data for high-T c oxides are compared with theoretical predictions. A brief review of the results obtained earlier for the coexistence between s-wave superconductivity and CDWs is also given.
