Abstract
Discoveries of marked similarities to high- cuprate superconductors point to the realization of superconductivity in the doped Mott insulator . Contrary to the mother compound of cuprate superconductors, several stacking patterns of in-plane canted antiferromagnetic moments have been reported, which are distinguished by the ferromagnetic components as , , and . In this paper, we clarify unconventional features of the superconductivity coexisting with and structures. Combining the group theoretical analysis and numerical calculations for an effective model, we show unusual superconducting gap structures in the state protected by nonsymmorphic magnetic space group symmetry. Furthermore, our calculation shows that the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconductivity is inevitably stabilized in the state since the odd-parity magnetic order makes the band structure asymmetric by cooperating with spin-orbit coupling. These unusual superconducting properties are signatures of magnetic multipole order in nonsymmorphic crystal.
