The physics of pair-density waves: cuprate superconductors and beyond

DF Agterberg, JCS Davis, SD Edkins… - Annual Review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
We review the physics of pair-density wave (PDW) superconductors. We begin with a
macroscopic description that emphasizes order induced by PDW states, such as charge …

Mechanism for fluctuating pair density wave

C Setty, L Fanfarillo, PJ Hirschfeld - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
In weakly coupled BCS superconductors, only electrons within a tiny energy window around
the Fermi energy, EF, form Cooper pairs. This may not be the case in strong coupling …

Triplet pair density wave superconductivity on the -flux square lattice

D Shaffer, LH Santos - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Pair-density waves (PDWs) are superconducting states that spontaneously break translation
symmetry in systems with time-reversal symmetry (TRS). Evidence for PDWs has been seen …

Pair-density-wave (PDW) superconductivity is a long-sought exotic state with oscillating
superconducting order parameter without the need of applying external magnetic field. So …

Finite-momentum and field-induced pairings in orbital-singlet spin-triplet superconductors

J Clepkens, HY Kee - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Finite-momentum pairing in a Pauli-limited spin-singlet superconductor arises from the pair-
breaking effects of an external Zeeman field, a mechanism which is not applicable in odd …

Theory of a pair density wave on a quasi-one-dimensional lattice in the Hubbard model
