Possible Triplet $p+ip$ Superconductivity in Graphene at Low Filling
Abstract
We study the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping () and next-nearest-neighbor one (). When , the single-particle spectrum is featured by the continuously distributed Van-Hove saddle points at the band bottom, where the density of states diverges in power-law. We investigate possible unconventional superconductivity in such system with Fermi level close to the band bottom by employing both random phase approximation and determinant quantum Monte-Carlo approaches. Our study reveals a possible triplet superconductivity in this system with appropriate interactions. Our results might provide a possible route to look for triplet superconductivity with relatively-high transition temperature in a low-filled graphene and other similar systems.
