Superconductivity In The Three-Band Model Of Cuprates: Nodal Direction Characteristics And Influence Of Intersite Interactions

The three-band Emery model is applied to study the selected principal features of the d-wave superconducting phase in the copper-based compounds. The electron-electron correlations are taken into account by the use of the diagrammatic expansion of the Guztwiller wave function (DE-GWF method). The nodal Fermi velocity, Fermi momentum, and effective mass are all determined in the paired state and show relatively good agreement with the available experimental data, as well as with the corresponding single-band calculations. Additionally, the influence of the next-nearest neighbor oxygen-oxygen hopping and intersite Coulomb repulsion terms on the superconducting phase is analyzed.
