【 摘 要 】

We study the interplay of the ferromagnetic (FM) state and the p-wave superconducting (SC) state observed in several materials such as UCoGe and URhGe in a totally nonperturbative manner. To this end, we introduce a lattice Ginzburg-Landau model that is a genuine generalization of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory proposed previously in the continuum and also a counterpart of the lattice gauge Higgs model for the s-wave SC transition, and study it numerically by Monte Carlo simulations. The obtained phase diagram has qualitatively the same structure as that of UCoGe in the region where the two transition temperatures satisfy T-FM > T-SC. For T-FM/T-SC < 0.7, we find that the coexisting region of FM and SC orders appears only near the surface of the lattice, which describes an inhomogeneous FMSC coexisting state.
