By evaluating the quasiparticle contribution (BCS response) we show that for both quantities the gap symmetry considerably changes the paradigm of the optical response as compared to the conventional s-wave case. For what concerns the linear response our findings agree with previous work showing that in strongly disordered d-wave superconductors a large fraction of uncondensed spectral weight survives below Tc, making the optical absorption around the gap-frequency scale almost unchanged with respect to the normal state. Our numerical results are in excellent quantitative agreement with experiments in overdoped cuprates. In the nonlinear regime we focus on the third-harmonic generation (THG), finding that, as already established for the s-wave case, in general a large THG is triggered by disorder-activated paramagnetic processes. However, in the d-wave case the BCS response is monotonously increasing in frequency, losing any signature of THG enhancement when the THz pump frequency ω matches the gap maximum Δ, a hallmark of previous experiments in conventional s-wave superconductors. Our findings, along with the mild polarization dependence of the response, provide an explanation for recent THG measurements in cuprates, setting the framework for the theoretical understanding of nonlinear effects in unconventional cuprates.

A1 - Lorenzana, José T1 - Stripes with Spin Canting in the Three-Band Hubbard Model T2 - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism N2 - In underdoped cuprates, both stripes and spiral states may account for the incommensurate spin response observed by elastic neutron scattering experiments. Here, we investigate the respective stability of both textures within the framework of the three-band Hubbard model which we treat within the unrestricted Gutzwiller approximation. Our calculations indicate that for parameter sets appropriate for lanthanum cuprates and small doping nor purely longitudinal stripes nor uniform spirals are stable but stripes with significant spin canting. Indeed at small doping uniform spirals are unstable toward nanoscale phase separation.
