Abstract

Multi-band systems as inter-metallic and heavy fermion compounds have quasi-particles arising from different orbitals at their Fermi surface. Since these quasi-particles have different masses or densities, there is a natural mismatch of the Fermi wave-vectors associated with different orbitals. This makes these materials potential candidates to observe exotic superconducting phases as Sarma or FFLO phases, even in the absence of an external magnetic field. The distinct orbitals coexisting at the Fermi surface are generally hybridized and their degree of mixing can be controlled by external pressure. In this work we investigate the existence of an FFLO type of phase in a two-band BCS superconductor controlled by hybridization analyzing the phase diagram at finite temperature, the system has similarities to conventional FFLO phase induced by field but has an entirely different nature, like a presence of a bicritical point.
