Abstract
We investigate the properties and the microscopic structure of superconductivity (SC) coexisting and sharing the common conducting band with density wave (DW). Such coexistence may take place when the nesting of the Fermi surface (FS) is not perfect, and in the DW state some quasiparticle states remain on the Fermi level and lead to the Cooper instability. The dispersion of such quasiparticle states strongly differs from that without DW, and so do the properties of SC on the DW background. The upper critical field Hc2 in such a SC state increases as the system approaches the critical pressure, where the ungapped quasiparticles and superconductivity just appear, and it may considerably exceed the usual Hc2 value without DW. The spin-density wave (SDW) background strongly suppresses the singlet SC pairing, while it does not affect so much the triplet SC transition temperature. The results obtained explain the experimental observations in layered organic metals (TMTSF)2PF6 and α−(BEDT-TTF)2KHg(SCN)4, where SC appears in the DW states under pressure and shows many unusual properties.
