By developing a model Hamiltonian for the system and using the Green’s function formalism and equation of motion method, we have obtained expressions for superconducting transition temperature (Tc), magnetic order temperature (Tm), superconductivity order parameter (D) and magnetic order parameter (η). By employing the experimental and theoretical values of the parameters in the obtained expressions, phase diagrams of energy gap parameter versus transition temperature, superconducting transition temperature versus magnetic order parameter and magnetic order temperature versus magnetic order parameter are plotted separately. By combining the phase diagrams of superconducting transition temperature versus magnetic order parameter and magnetic order temperature versus magnetic order parameter, we have demonstrated the possible coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism in superconducting HoMo6S8.展开更多

Qualitatively, at finite temperature the transverse correlation reflects the short-range interaction between spins, so that lowers the internal energy and consequently raises the free energy. It also means the introduction o[ some ordering, and hence lowers the entropy. It is depressed by the field which forces the spins to turn to the field direction, so that it decreases with the field when temperature is fixed. The low-temperature expansion of the energy shows that the inclusion of the transverse correlation at least partly considers the interaction between spin waves.展开更多
