Mixed-parity superconductivity near Lifshitz transitions in strongly spin-orbit-coupled metals
arXiv:1909.13570 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.013106
Abstract
We consider a strongly spin-orbit-coupled metal, one of whose Fermi surfaces is close to a Lifshitz (topological) transition. Via a renormalization group analysis of the square-lattice Hubbard model with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling, we show that such a metal is generically unstable to the formation of mixed-parity superconductivity with a helical triplet component.
