Magnetic and pairing properties of a two-orbital model for the pnictide superconductors: a quantum Monte Carlo study

Using the constrained-path Monte Carlo method, a two-orbital model for the pnictide superconductors is studied at half filling and in both the electron- and hole-doped cases. At half filling, a stable (π, 0)/(0, π) magnetic order is explicitly observed and the system tends to be in an orthomagnetic order rather than the striped antiferromagnetic order on increasing the Coulomb repulsion U. In the electron-doped case, the (π, 0)/(0, π) magnetic order is enhanced upon doping and suppressed eventually and a s(±) pairing state dominates all the possible nearest-neighbour-bond pairings. Whereas in the hole-doped case, the magnetic order is straightforwardly suppressed and two nearly degenerate A(1g) and B(1g) intraband pairings become the dominant ones.
