Title: Minimal-size real-space d -wave pairing operator in CuO 2 planes

Abstract

Herein a novel minimal-size pairing operator Δ D 0 with d -wave symmetry in CuO 2 planes is introduced. This pairing operator creates on-site Cooper pairs at the four oxygens that surround a copper atom. Via the time evolution of Δ D 0 , an additional interorbital pairing operator Δ D p d with d -wave symmetry is generated that pairs fermions located in a Cu and its four surrounding O atoms. The subsequent time evolution of Δ D p d generates an intraorbital d -wave pairing operator Δ D p p involving the four O atoms that surround a Cu atom, as well as the d -wave operator Δ D traditionally used in single-band models for cuprates. Because we recover the larger size operators extensively used in the three-orbital Hubbard model, we suggest that long-range order using the canonical extended operators occurs together with long-range order in the new minimal operators. However, our minimal d -wave operators could be more practical to study d -wave superconductivity because in the finite-size relatively small systems accessible to computational techniques it is easier to observe long-range order using local operators. Moreover, an effective model with the usual tight-binding hopping of the CuO 2 planes supplemented by an attractive potential V in the d -wave channel is introduced. Using mean-field techniques, we show that a paired ground state is stabilized for any finite value of V . We observed that the values of V that lead to gap sizes similar to those in the cuprates are smaller for d -wave pairing operators that include Cu d orbitals than those that include only p orbitals. In all cases the gap that opens in the spectrum has standard d -wave symmetry. Finally, a simpler effective model is introduced to study the phenomenology of multiorbital d -wave superconductors, similar to how the negative- U Hubbard model is used for properties of s -wave superconductors.
