Efficient selfconsistent calculations of multiband superconductivity in UPd2Al3 — •Peter M. Oppeneer1 and Georgios Varelogiannis21IFW Dresden — 2Nat. Technical University, Athens

An efficient physically motivated computational approach to multiband superconductivity is introduced and applied to the study of the unconventional gap symmetry in the heavy-fermion material UPd2Al3. Using realistic pairing potentials and accurate energy bands that are computed within density functional theory, self-consistent calculations demonstrate that the only accessible superconducting gap with nodes exhibits d-wave symmetry in the A1g representation of the D6h point group. Our results suggest that in a superconductor with gap nodes the prevailing gap symmetry is dictated by the constraint that nodes must be as far as possible from high-density areas.
