1301.5662 (Maximilian Kiesel et al.)

Anisotropic chiral d+id superconductivity in NaxCoO2 yH2O    [PDF]

Maximilian Kiesel, Christian Platt, Werner Hanke, Ronny Thomale
Since its discovery, the superconducting phase in water-intercalated sodium cobaltates NaxCoO2 yH2O (x~0.3, y~1.3) has posed fundamental challenges in terms of experimental investigation and theoretical understanding. By a combined dynamical mean-field and renormalization group approach, we find an anisotropic chiral d+id wave state as a consequence of multi-orbital effects, Fermi surface topology, and magnetic fluctuations. It naturally explains the singlet property and close-to-nodal gap features of the superconducting phase as indicated by experiments.
