Research Abstract |
We have developed the fundamental theory for odd-frequency superconductivity. We found that a self-consistent bulk state is possible by choosing an appropriate order parameter that minimizes the free-energy functional in a spontaneous symmetry breaking. We elucidated the strong-coupling local electron-phonon model and the model having a critical magnetic fluctuation, we determined the phase diagram in temperature and parameter space. The critical fluctuation with logarithmically divergent attraction makes it stable against the self-energy effect. We further investigated the mechanism of the appearance of the odd-frequency component near an impurity site or on a surface boundary by solving the self-consistent equations with such boundary conditions, and showed the relationship between the microscopic and semi-phenomenological understandings for the nature of the order parameters.
