Intra-valley Spin-triplet $p+ip$ Superconducting Pairing in Lightly Doped Graphene

Superconductivity 2013-01-03 v2

Abstract

We analyze various possible superconducting pairing states and their relative stabilities in lightly doped graphene. We show that, when inter-sublattice electron-electron attractive interaction dominates and Fermi level is close to Dirac points, the system will favor intra-valley spin-triplet p+ipp+\mathrm{i}p pairing state. Based on the novel pairing state, we further propose a scheme for doing topological quantum computation in graphene by engineering local strain fields and external magnetic fields.
