Massimo Capone OUTLINE Cs3C60 is a Mott insulator, and it turns into a phonon-mediated superconductor with pressure Mott physics favours electron-phonon superconductivity in the fullerides Molecular phonons do not “fight” with Coulomb repulsion Other phonons fight. Other organics? ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

4 SUPERCONDUCTIVITY after the cuprate revolution
Massimo Capone FRAMEWORK SUPERCONDUCTIVITY after the cuprate revolution “Electronic Mechanism” Strong Correlations d-wave (nodes) high Tc Unconventional Phonon-mediated “BCS” Weak correlations s-wave low Tc Conventional Standard, conventional, boring… Exotic, unconventional, interesting, beautiful… New pieces in the puzzle (organics, iron-based, MgB2, aromatics) [Where do the iron-based SC belong ?] Electron-phonon superconductors which benefit from correlations “the other high-Tcs” Cs3C60, K3C60, .. : M.C., M. Fabrizio, C. Castellani and E. Tosatti Ba1−xKxBiO3 β-HfNCl Z. P. Yin, A. Kutepov, G. Kotliar Aromatics? ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

5 SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND MOTT PHYSICS
Main Underlying Idea SUPERBAD Three different families share a similar behaviour regardless of the glue: Superconductivity is Best Realized in “Optimally Bad” Metals ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

6 OUR NORTH START: THE FULLERIDES
Massimo Capone OUR NORTH START: THE FULLERIDES Solid C60 forms a molecular crystal Undoped Band insulator with a 3-fold degenerate (t1u, like p) LUMO A3C60: alkali-metal atoms donate electrons to C60 bands A=K, Rb s-wave superconductor A=Cs AFM insulator SC with Tc=38K at 5 kbar A = K, Rb, Cs ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

7 THE FIRST ANSWER: ELECTRON-PHONON
Massimo Capone THE FIRST ANSWER: ELECTRON-PHONON “old” (90s) compounds (K3C60, Rb3C60) Ordinary “BCS” Superconductors with “moderate” effective mass enhancement Carbon Isotope effect on Tc Regular Specific heat jump at Tc Increase of Tc and DOS with lattice spacing O. Gunnarsson, Rev. Mod. Phys. 69, 575 (1997) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

8 THE STORY BECOMES MORE “INTERESTING”
Massimo Capone THE STORY BECOMES MORE “INTERESTING” Early 00s: Expanded (large interball distance) compounds: Tc decreases with lattice parameter While DOS increases (NH3)xNaK2C60 Cs3-xRbxC60 M. Riccò et al. Phys. Rev. B, 68,  (2003) Dahlke, Denning, Henry, Rosseinsky, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122, (2000) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

9 ELECTRON-PHONON OR NOT ?
Massimo Capone BACK TO THE QUESTION: ELECTRON-PHONON OR NOT ? C60 molecule MOs Solid C60 bands 3 degenerate LUMO bands LUMO t1u Molecular Crystal: the bands are formed by molecular orbitals ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

10 MODELING AnC60 - A “DIGITAL” PREDICTION
Massimo Capone MODELING AnC60 - A “DIGITAL” PREDICTION One C60 per lattice site Alkali only donate their s electrons 3 bands W ~ eV hopping Term Coulomb Repulsion U ~ 1/1.5 eV Numbers suggest we have a correlated system (not just Cs-doped) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

11 MODELING AnC60 Chap. 2 - ELECTRON-PHONON
Massimo Capone MODELING AnC60 Chap. 2 - ELECTRON-PHONON Electron-phonon interaction t1u coupled to H1g phonons (deformations of the ball) The interaction lives on a single molecule Hund’s rule for t1u J > 0 favors minimum S e L (inverted Hund’s rule) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

12 THE DMFT PHASE DIAGRAM Massimo Capone
Orbital Degeneracy (3 t1u orbitals) Jahn-Teller coupling Strong Correlation s-wave superconductors S=1/2 AFM Mott First-order transition Superconductivity close to a Mott state is enhanced by correlations M. C., M. Fabrizio, C. Castellani, and E. Tosatti, Rev. Mod. Phys. 81, 943 (2009) [before the experiment in Cs3C60] M. C. and G. Giovannetti, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, (2012) [HSE] ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

13 ENTER Cs3C60 S=1/2 “low spin” The “correlated” DMFT phase diagram!
Massimo Capone ENTER Cs3C60 Cs is bigger than K, Rb Larger lattice spacing implies a smaller W S=1/2 “low spin” A=Cs S=1/2 AFM insulator SC with Tc=38K at 5 kbar V per C60 or U/W The “correlated” DMFT phase diagram! A. Y. Ganin et al. Nature Materials 7, 367 (2008) Y. Takabayashi et al., Science 323, 1585 (2009) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

14 WHY? U ZU J W ZW Z << 1 Coulomb Repulsion Electron-phonon
Massimo Capone WHY? Active Phonons are coupled with Spin/Orbital Degrees of Freedom still active when charge fluctuations are frozen by correlations even in the Mott state the singlet energy gain is J Coulomb Repulsion U ZU Electron-phonon J W ZW Z << 1 Enhanced Superconductivity Molecular phonons: deformations of the molecule which couple to “internal” degrees of freedom. M.C., M. Fabrizio, C. Castellani, and E. Tosatti, Science 296, 2364 (2002) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

15 l = rV WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER W ZW Z << 1 r
Attractive Potential l = rV Density of States W ZW Z << 1 Quasiparticles with Reduced bandwidth Correlations r r/ Z Repulsion enhances Tc! “Typically” V is also renormalized l l Z << l V VZ2 Correlation can enhance Tc when the attraction is not renormalized ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

16 WHATEVER DOES NOT KILL YOU SIMPLY MAKES YOU STRANGER
Massimo Capone WHATEVER DOES NOT KILL YOU SIMPLY MAKES YOU STRANGER SUPERCONDUCTIVITY “HEALS” THE ANOMALOUS METAL CLOSE TO THE CRITICAL POINT Superfluid delta-function in optical conductivity larger than the Drude Weight of the metal a kinetic energy gain stabilizes the SC Anti-BCS (as it happens in u.d. cuprates) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

17 WE MUST CONSIDER “REAL” PHONON SYMMETRY
Massimo Capone WE MUST CONSIDER “REAL” PHONON SYMMETRY Hubbard-Holstein model E-ph coupling directly “fights” with Hubbard U (needs charge fluctuations) Minor phonons effects, completely frozen by U (no hope for phonon-driven superconductivity) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

18 STILL SOME PHONON EFFECTS
Massimo Capone STILL SOME PHONON EFFECTS Effective Hubbard model (no phonons) vs Hubbard-Holstein Low energy Identical Hubbard bands are in the same place Phonon effects in the Hubbard bands ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

19 AROMATIC SUPERCONDUCTORS (?)
Kx-picene 2.7 < x <3.3 Tc = 18K R. Mitsuhashi et al. Nature 464, 76 (2010) Kx-coronene Tc = 15K Phenanthrene Tc = 5K Y. Kubuzono et al. X.F. Wang et al. Nat. Comm. and 1,2:8,9-dibenzopentacene with Tc=33K M. Xue et al. Scientific Report ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

20 PICENE MOLECULAR ORBITALS
C22H14 Conduction bands from LUMO and LUMO+1 nearly degenerate T. Kosugi et al.JPSJ 79, (2010) U is around 0.7 eV W < 0.6 eV Y. Nomura, K. Nakamura and R. Arita, Phys. Rev. B 85, (2012) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

21 CORRELATION EFFECTS IN K-PICENE
G. Giovannetti and M.C. Phys. Rev. B 83, (2011); M. Kim et al. C22H14 Conduction bands from LUMO and LUMO+1 nearly degenerate T. Kosugi et al.JPSJ 79, (2010) AFM Gap Using HSE functional within DFT we find a low-spin AFM state No AFM using LDA, GGA – We need correlations HSE also necessary to make Cs3C60 insulating in DFT [G. Giovannetti and M.C. PRL 2012] Correlation effects are important ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

22 ELECTRON-PHONON AND CORRELATIONS
Cs3C60 K3picene Threefold degenerate orbitals Nearly degenerate U/W ~ 1.5 U/W ~ 1.2 Molecular Phonons all sort of phonons Casula et al. PRL 2011 Off-plane C In-plane C 40% of the e-ph coupling comes from dopant+intermolecular modes The intramolecular phonons can behave like in fullerene The intermolecular and intercalant are expected to be depressed ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

23 ELECTRON-PHONON AND CORRELATIONS
Plug everything into a single phonon mode DMFT without phonons DMFT with phonons METAL due to off-diagonal phonons G. Giovannetti, M. Casula, P. Werner, M. Calandra, F. Mauri, and M.C. submitted ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13

24 Massimo Capone CONCLUSIONS Electron-phonon interaction and Mott physics can live happily everafter Phononic Superconductivity favored by strong correlation if it involves internal degrees of freedom (deformations of the molecule) Cs3C60 is the cleanest example The symmetry of the phonon is crucial. Need for realistic calculations G. Giovannetti and M.C. Phys. Rev. B 83, (2011) M. C., M. Fabrizio, C. Castellani, and E. Tosatti, Rev. Mod. Phys. 81, 943 (2009) ICAM BU Workshop – Digital Design 27-29/09/13
