Investigation of fermionic pairing on two- dimensional tight binding lattice under phonon and electronic mechanisms within a simple Fermi liquid like scenario and beyond- possible consequences for superconductivity in overdoped cuprates

TL;DR

This paper investigates fermionic pairing mechanisms on a 2D lattice, analyzing how phonon and electronic interactions influence superconductivity, with implications for overdoped cuprates.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of pairing energies and coherence lengths considering both phononic and electronic mechanisms in a 2D lattice, highlighting the electronic mechanism's relevance.

Findings

Electronic mechanism is more likely responsible for pairing in overdoped cuprates.

Pairing energy and coherence length depend on bosonic energy, coupling strength, and band filling.

Results align with experimental data on overdoped cuprate superconductors.

Abstract

Cooper's one pair problem is investigated for a 2D lattice in the background of both passive and active Fermi sea in a weakly correlated environment. Boson exchange mechanisms involving excitons as well as phonons are invoked for pairing in the s- wave channel. The important quantities calculated are pairing energy and coherence length as functions of bosonic energy, attracted coupling constant and band filling factor. Comparison of our theoretical results with those from experiments on overdoped cuprate superconductors and other type of theoretical calculations show electronic mechanism to be the more likely mechanism of pairing in the overdoped phase.
