Identifying detrimental effects for multi-band superconductivity - Application to Sr2RuO4 — •Aline Ramires1 and Manfred Sigrist21Institute for Theoretical Studies, ETH Zurich, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland — 2Institute for Theoretical Physics, ETH Zurich, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland

We propose a general scheme to probe the compatibility of arbitrary pairing states with a given normal state Hamiltonian by the introduction of a concept called superconducting fitness. This quantity gives a direct measure of the suppression of the superconducting critical temperature in the presence of key symmetry-breaking fields. A merit of the superconducting fitness is that it can be used as a tool to identify nontrivial mechanisms to suppress superconductivity under various external influences, in particular, magnetic fields or distortions, even in complex multiorbital systems. In the light of this concept we analyze the multiband superconductor Sr2RuO4 and propose a new mechanism for the suppression of superconductivity in multiorbital systems, which we call interorbital effect, as a possible explanation for the unusual limiting feature observed in the upper critical field of this material.
