Pairing Correlations in the two-layer attractive Hubbard Model
  Studies of systems with two fermionic bands with repulsive interaction strength U have a long history, with the Periodic Anderson Model (PAM) being one of the most frequently considered Hamiltonians. In this paper, we use Quantum Monte Carlo to study analogous issues for attractive interactions. As in the Periodic Anderson Model, we focus on a case where one band is uncorrelated (U=0), and focus on the effect of hybridization V between the bands on the pairing correlations. A key difference with the PAM is that there is no sign problem, so that we are able to explore the physics of doped multi-band attractive systems at low temperatures whereas ground state properties of repulsive models can be determined only at half-filling. For small V, pairing in the U<0 layer induces pairing in the U=0 layer. At larger V the ground state of the coupled system loses its superconducting character. The Quantum Monte Carlo data are complemented by results obtained with the Bogoliubov-de Gennes approximation.
