Triplet superconductivity in coupled odd-gon rings.


ABSTRACT: Shedding light on the nature of spin-triplet superconductivity has been a long-standing quest in condensed matter physics since the discovery of superfluidity in liquid 3He. Nevertheless, the mechanism of spin-triplet pairing is much less understood than that of spin-singlet pairing explained by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory or even observed in high-temperature superconductors. Here we propose a versatile mechanism for spin-triplet superconductivity which emerges through a melting of macroscopic spin polarization stabilized in weakly coupled odd-gon (e.g., triangle, pentagon, etc) systems. We demonstrate the feasibility of sustaining spin-triplet superconductivity with this mechanism by considering a new class of quasi-one-dimensional superconductors A2Cr3As3 (A = K, Rb, and Cs). Furthermore, we suggest a simple effective model to easily illustrate the adaptability of the mechanism to general systems consisting of odd-gon units. This mechanism provides a rare example of superconductivity from on-site Coulomb repulsion.
