Abstract:
We employ the fluctuation-exchange approximation to study the relation of superconducting pairing symmetries and density-wave fluctuations based on the extended triangular Hubbard model upon electron doping and interactions, with an possible application to the layered metal dichalcogenide SnSe2. For the case where the interactions between electrons contain only the on-site Hubbard term, the superconducting pairings are mainly mediated by spin fluctuations, and the spin-singlet pairing with thed-wave symmetry robustly dominates in the low and moderate doping levels, and ad-wave to extendeds-wave transition is observed as the electron doping reachesn = 1. When the near-neighbor site Coulomb interactions are also included, the charge fluctuations are enhanced, and the spin-triplet pairings with thep-wave andf-wave symmetries can be realized in the high and low doping levels, respectively.
