Enhanced tendency of $d$-wave pairing and antiferromagnetism in doped staggered periodic Anderson model


Abstract in English

Whether or not a physical property can be enhanced in an inhomogeneous system compared with its homogeneous counterpart is an intriguing fundamental question. We provide a concrete example with positive answer by uncovering a remarkable enhancement of both antiferromagnetic (AF) structure factor and $d$-wave pairing tendency in the doped staggered periodic Anderson model (PAM) with two alternating inequivalent local moments. The common thread of these enhancement is found to originate from the generic self-averaging effect and non-monotonic dependence of the corresponding physical quantity in homogeneous PAM. More strikingly, we provided evidence of the coexistence of these two enhancement via a tentative phase diagram. Our findings may imply the plausible generalization of enhancing physical properties in generic inhomogeneous systems.
