Abstract

The intrasite and intersite spin-triplet pairing gaps induced by interband Hund’s rule coupling and their correlations are analyzed in the doubly degenerate Hubbard Hamiltonian. To include the effect of correlations, the statistically consistent Gutzwiller approximation is used. In this approach the consistency means that the averages calculated from the self-consistent equations and those determined variationally coincide with each other. Emphasis is put on the solution for which the average particle number is conserved when carrying out the Gutzwiller projection. This method leads to a stable equal-spin paired state in the so-called repulsive interactions limit (U > 3J) in the regime of moderate correlations. The interband hybridization introduces an inequivalence of the bands which, above a critical magnitude, suppresses the paired state due to both the Fermi-wavevector mismatch for the Cooper pair and the interband hopping allowed by the Pauli principle.
