【 摘 要 】

The five-orbital Hubbard model for iron pnictides is investigated by using the dynamical mean- field theory (DMFT) in conjunction with the Eliashberg equation in the strong correlation regime where the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations are simultaneously enhanced. When the intraorbital Coulomb interaction is a little smaller than the interorbital one, the FM fluctuation is largely enhanced due to the significant orbital dependence of the vertex correction and becomes comparable to the AFM fluctuation, in contrast to the result from the random phase approximation where the AFM fluctuation is exclusively enhanced due to the nesting between hole and electron Fermi surfaces (FSs). The enhanced FM fluctuation induces the large repulsive pairing interaction between inner and outer hole FSs while the AFM fluctuation does between the hole and electron FSs. The latter is partially counteracted by the attractive pairing interaction mediated by the antiferro-orbital fluctuation. The resulting pairing state is found to be a novel s-wave in which the gap function of the inner hole FS has the opposite sign to that of the outer hole and electron FSs.
