Abstract

We investigate the possibility of spin texture in the bilayer cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ using cluster dynamical mean-field theory. The one-band Hubbard model with a small interlayer hopping and a Rashba spin-orbit coupling is used to describe the material. The d-wave order parameter is not much affected by the presence of the Rashba coupling, but a small triplet component appears. We find a spin texture circulating in the same direction around k=(0,0) and k=(π,π) and stable against the superconducting phase. We predict that the amplitude of the spin structure is strongly affected by the pseudogap phenomenon, more so than the spectral function itself.
