Superconductivity in the Fe-Pnictides - From first principle calculations to effective RG studies — •Christian Platt1, Ronny Thomale2, Andrei Bernevig2, Carsten Honerkamp3, and Werner Hanke1 — 1Universität Würzburg — 2Princeton University — 3RWTH Aachen
The functional Renormalization Group (fRG) is used to determine the superconducting (SC) mechansim in the ferropnictides, with the main emphasis on distiguishing universal and material-specific aspects. To this end we use a five-band d-orbital whose interactions, in contrast to earlier fRG studies, are not taken as scalar model parameters, but calculated "a priori" from constrained RPA calculations. We universally find a SC pairing instability, driven by inter-Fermi surface (FS) scattering and resulting in a sign-changing s+- wave order parameter. However, the gap anisotropy is shown to be dependent on material-specific orbital parameter deviations not only by the "non-interacting" (i.e. LDA) part of the d-orbital Hamiltonian, but also by self-energy corrections.
