摘要
A microscopic Hamiltonian reflecting the correct symmetry of f orbitals is proposed for discussing superconductivity in heavy-fermion systems. In the orbitally degenerate region in which not only spin fluctuations (SF) but also orbital fluctuations (OF) show considerable development, cancellation between SF and OF destabilizes the d(x2-y2)-wave superconductivity. On entering the non-degenerate region by increasing the crystalline electric field, d(x2-y2)-wave superconductivity mediated by antiferromagnetic SF emerges from the suppression of OF. We argue that the present scenario can be applied to the recently discovered superconductors CeTIn5 (T = Ir, Rh, and Co).
