Chiral d-wave Superconductivity in a Triangular Surface Lattice Mediated by Long-range Interaction

Abstract

Correlated ad-atom systems on the Si(111) surface have recently attracted an increased attention as strongly correlated systems with a rich phase diagram. We study these materials by a single band model on the triangular lattice including 1/r long-range interaction. Employing the recently proposed TRILEX method we find an unconventional superconducting phase of chiral d-wave symmetry in hole-doped systems. The superconductivity is driven simultaneously by both charge and spin fluctuations and is strongly enhanced by the long-range tail of the interaction. We provide an analysis of the relevant collective bosonic modes and explain how in triangular symmetry both charge and spin channels contribute to the Cooper-pairing.
