Heavy fermion d-wave superconductivity: an X-boson approach

From an extension of the periodic Anderson model (PAM) in the $ U=\infty $ limit taking into account the effect of a nearest neighbor attractive interaction between $ f $-electrons, we compare the obtained superconducting phase diagram of a two dimensional d-wave superconductor with the results obtained for an isotropic s-wave superconductor employing the X-boson method.
