Antiferromagnetic Order and π-triplet Pairing in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov State

The antiferromagnetic Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (AFM-FFLO) state of coexisting d-wave FFLO superconductivity and incommensurate AFM order is studied on the basis of Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations. We show that the incommensurate AFM order is stabilized in the FFLO state by the appearance of the Andreev bound state localized around the zeros of the FFLO order parameter. The AFM-FFLO state is further enhanced by the induced π-triplet superconductivity (pair density wave). The AFM order occurs in the FFLO state even when it is neither stable in the normal state nor in the BCS state. The order parameters of the AFM order, d-wave superconductivity, and π-triplet pairing are investigated by focusing on their spatial structures. Roles of the spin fluctuations beyond the BdG equations are discussed. Their relevance to the high-field superconducting phase of CeCoIn_5 is discussed.
