Higher angular momentum pairing states in SrRuO in the presence of longer-range interactions

Abstract

The superconducting symmetry of SrRuO remains a puzzle. Time-reversal symmetry breaking pairing has been proposed for reconciling multiple key experiments. However, its stability remains unclear. In this work, we theoretically study the superconducting instabilities in SrRuO, including the effects of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), in the presence of both local and longer-range interactions within a random phase approximation. We show that the inclusion of second nearest neighbor repulsions, together with non-local SOC in the channel or orbital-anisotropy of the non-local interactions, can have a significant impact on the stability of both - and -wave pairing channels. We analyze the properties, such as Knight shift and spontaneous edge current, of the realized , and mixed helical pairings in different parameter spaces and find that the solution is in better agreement with the experimental data.
