Abstract

We study the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping (t>0t>0) and next-nearest-neighbor one (t<0t'<0). When t<t/6t'<-t/6, 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 p+ipp+ip 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.
