Abstract

The observation of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconducting state and detection of the spin-dependent effective masses (SDM) of quasiparticles in heavy-fermion systems are combined into a single theoretical framework within the (mean-field) Gutzwiller approximation for the correlated states of electrons on a two-dimensional square lattice. The tight-binding approximation with nonzero first two hopping integrals is assumed for the bare electrons. The appearance of the spin-split masses extends essentially the regime of temperatures and applied magnetic fields in which FFLO (of the homogeneous, Fulde-Ferrell form) is stable and thus is claimed to be very important for its detectability. The analysis is performed within the Kondo-lattice limit of the finite-U Anderson–lattice model accounting in a coherent manner for both the mass renormalization (in the Gutzwiller approximation) and real-space pairing among the correlated heavy quasiparticles, the latter driven by the Kondo-type exchange interaction. The results are compared briefly with those obtained recently for a simpler situation of interacting fermion gas treated within a similar scheme. In Appendices A and B the Kondo real-space pairing and the Bogolyubov transformation for the SDM case are detailed.
