Recent observations of two nodeless gaps in superconducting CeCu_{2}Si_{2} have raised intensive debates on its exact gap symmetry, while a satisfactory theoretical basis is still lacking. Here we propose a phenomenological approach to calculate the superconducting gap functions, taking into consideration both the realistic Fermi surface topology and the intra- and interband quantum critical scatterings. Our calculations yield a nodeless s^{±}-wave solution in the presence of strong interband pairing interaction, in good agreement with experiments. This provides a possible basis for understanding the superconducting gap symmetry of CeCu_{2}Si_{2} at ambient pressure and indicates the potential importance of multiple Fermi surfaces and interband pairing interaction in understanding heavy fermion superconductivity.
最近在超导 CeCu2Si2 中观察到两个无节点间隙,这引发了关于其精确能隙对称性的激烈争论,而一个令人满意的理论基础仍然缺乏。在这里,我们提出了一种唯象方法来计算超导能隙函数,同时考虑了实际的费米面拓扑和 intra- 和 interband 量子临界散射。我们的计算在存在强 interband 配对相互作用的情况下得出了一个无节点 s^{±}-波解,与实验结果非常吻合。这为理解常压下 CeCu2Si2 的超导能隙对称性提供了一个可能的基础,并表明了多费米面和 interband 配对相互作用在理解重费米子超导电性方面的重要性。
