Abstract

Motivated by the recent discovery of a low temperature spin liquid phase in layered organic compound κ\kappa-(ET)2_2Cu2_2(CN)3_3 which becomes a superconductor under pressure, we examine the phase transition of Mott insulating and superconducting (SC) states in a Hubbard-Heisenberg model on an anisotropic triangular lattice. We use a renormalized mean field theory to study the Gutzwiller projected BCS wavefucntions. The half filled electron system is a Mott insulator at large on-site repulsion UU, and is a superconductor at a moderate UU. The symmetry of the SC state depends on the anisotropy, and is gapful with dx2y2+idxyd_{x^2-y^2}+id_{xy} symmetry near the isotropic limit and is gapless with dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} symmetry at small anisotropy ratio.
