Latent Superconductivity in doped manganites
Abstract
Description
We analyze effective Hamiltonian of ferromagnetic half metal phase of doped manganites and find a latent d-wave spin triplet superconductivity. Spin triplet state for a d-wave pair is enabled by orbital degrees of freedom. This high Tc superconductivity is, however, kept dormant by some intrinsic strong cooper pair breaking processes. Low T anomalies such as i) long distance superconducting proximity effects into manganites, ii) pseudogaps in tunneling, ARPES and iii) nodal quasi particles and absence of bilayer splitting in ARPES in bilayer manganite get natural and qualitative explanation. Some consequences of our orbital pairing superconductivity are pointed out.
