Abstract : The finite-temperature phase diagram for the two-dimensional attractive fermion Hubbard model with spin-dependent disorder is considered within Bogoliubov–de Gennes mean-field theory. Three types of disorder are studied. In the first, only one species is coupled to a random site energy; in the second, the two species both move in random site energy landscapes which are of the same amplitude but different realizations; and finally, in the third, the disorder is in the hopping rather than the site energy. For all three cases, we find that, unlike the case of spin-symmetric randomness, where the energy gap and average order parameter do not vanish as the disorder strength increases, a critical disorder strength exists separating distinct phases. In fact, the energy gap and the average order parameter vanish at distinct transitions, Vgapc and Vopc, allowing for a gapless superconducting (gSC) phase. The gSC phase becomes smaller with increasing temperature until it vanishes at a temperature T∗.
