Odd-parity triplet superconducting phase in multiorbital materials with a strong spin-orbit coupling: application to...

We explore possible superconducting states in t(2g) multiorbital correlated electron systems with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In order to study such systems in a controlled manner, we employ large-scale dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) simulations with the hybridization expansion continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo (CTQMC) impurity solver. To determine the pairing symmetry, we go beyond the local DMFT formalism using parquet equations to introduce the momentum dependence in the two-particle vertex and correlation functions. In the strong SOC limit, a singlet, d-wave pairing state in the electron-doped side of the phase diagram is observed at weak Hund's coupling, which is triggered by antiferromagnetic fluctuations. When the Hund's coupling is comparable to SOC, a twofold degenerate, triplet p-wave pairing state with relatively high transition temperature emerges in the hole-doped side of the phase diagram, which is associated with enhanced charge fluctuations. Experimental implications to doped Sr2IrO4 are discussed.
