Possibility of f-wave spin-triplet superconductivity in the CoO superconductor: a case study on a 2D triangular lattice in the repulsive Hubbard model

Abstract

Stimulated by the recent finding of Na${}_{0.35}$CoO${}_2$.1.3H${}_2$O superconductor, we investigate superconducting instabilities on a 2D triangular lattice in the repulsive Hubbard model. Using the third-order perturbation expansion with respect to the on-site repulsion $U$, we evaluate the linearized Dyson-Gor'kov equation. We find that an $f$-wave spin-triplet pairing is the most stable in a wide range of the next nearest neighbor hopping integral $t^{\prime }$ and an electron number density $n$. The introduction of $t^{\prime }$ is crucial to adjust the van Hove singularities to the neighborhood of the Fermi surface crossing around K point. In this case, the bare spin susceptibility shows the broad peak around $\Gamma$ point. These conditions stabilize the $f$-wave pairing. Although the $f$-wave pairing is also given by the fluctuation-exchange approximation, the transition temperature is too low to be observed. This is because the depairing effect by the spin fluctuation is over-estimated. Thus, the third-order vertex corrections are important for the spin-triplet superconductivity, like the case in Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$.
