High-TC superconductivity in La3Ni2O7 based on the bilayer two-orbital t-J model
Abstract
The recently discovered high-Tc superconductor La3Ni2O7 has sparked renewed interest in unconventional superconductivity. Here we study superconductivity in pressurized La3Ni2O7 based on a bilayer two-orbital t−J model, using the renormalized mean-field theory. Our results reveal a robust s±-wave pairing driven by the inter-layer dz2 magnetic coupling, which exhibits a transition temperature within the same order of magnitude as the experimentally observed Tc ~ 80 K. We establish a comprehensive superconducting phase diagram in the doping plane. Notably, the La3Ni2O7 under pressure is found to be situated roughly in the optimal doping regime of the phase diagram. When the dx2−y2 orbital becomes close to half-filling, d-wave and d + is pairing can emerge from the system. We discuss the interplay between Fermi surface topology and different pairing symmetries. The stability of the s±-wave pairing against Hund's coupling and other magnetic exchange couplings is discussed.
