Fluctuation-driven superconductivity in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ from weak repulsive interactions
Abstract
We provide results for the leading superconducting instabilities for a model pertaining to SrRuO obtained within spin-fluctuation mediated superconductivity in the very weak-coupling limit. The theory incorporates spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects both in the band structure and in the pairing kernel in the form of associated magnetic anisotropies. The leading superconducting phase is found to be and a nodal -wave state. However, the odd-parity helical solution can become leading either for small SOC and Hund's coupling in the weak -limit, or in the opposite limit with large SOC and at larger values of the Hubbard-. The odd-parity chiral solution is never found to be leading. Finally we discuss the form of the resulting superconducting spectral gaps in the different explored parameter regimes.
