Abstract:
We study an s-wave superconductivity in a one-dimensional dimerized diamond lattice in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman field. The considered diamond lattice, comprising of three sublattices per unitcell and having flat band, has two dimerization patterns; the intra unitcell hoppings have the same (opposite) dimerization pattern as the corresponding inter unitcell hoppings, namely, neighboring (facing) dimerization. Using the mean-field theory, we calculate the superconducting order parameter self-consistently and examine the stability of the superconducting phase against the spin-orbit coupling, Zeeman splitting, dimerization, and temperature. We find that the spin-orbit coupling or Zeeman splitting individually has a detrimental effect on the superconductivity, mostly for the facing dimerization. But their mutual effect revives the superconductivity at charge neutrality point for the facing dimerization.
