Spin triplet superconducting pairing in doped MoS${}_2$

Abstract

Searching for triplet superconductivity has been pursued intensively in a broad field of material science and quantum information for decades. Nevertheless, these novel states remain rare. Within a simplified effective three-orbital model, we reveal a spin triplet pairing in doped MoS${}_2$ by employing both the finite temperature determinant quantum Monte Carlo approach and the ground state constrained-phase quantum Monte Carlo method. In a wide filling region of $\avg{n}=0.60-0.80$ around charge neutrality $\avg{n}=2/3$, the $f$-wave pairing dominates over other symmetries. The pairing susceptibility strongly increases as the on-site Coulomb interaction increases, and it is insensitive to spin-orbit coupling.
