Coexistence of Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism and its Effects on Crossover as to Correlation Strength in Hubbard Model

Using a variational Monte Carlo method, the interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity is studied for the two- dimensional Hubbard model with a diagonal transfer t’. It is found with a refined function that the optimized state is sensitive to the values of model parameters, U/t, t’/t, and δ (doping rate), and becomes a coexisting state or a pure superconducting (SC) state. SC properties in the coexisting state also undergo considerable changes around the crossover point Uco(~10t) from a fragile BCS type for U < Uco co to an unconventional one for U>Uco, in which pairs are formed through local exchange or doublon-holon processes, but supercurrent flows separately with the doped holes.
