Even-odd parity transition in strongly correlated locally noncentrosymmetric superconductors : An application to CeRh$_2$As$_2$

Abstract

The discovery of the multiple $H$-$T$ phase diagram of CeRh$_2$As$_2$ offers a new route to designing topological superconductors. Although weak-coupling theories explain the experimental phase diagram qualitatively, a quantitative discrepancy between them has discouraged conclusive interpretation. In this Letter, we thoroughly study the effect of Coulomb interaction and the phase diagrams of locally noncentrosymmetric superconductors. We reveal even-odd parity transition and the enhancement of the parity transition field in strongly correlated superconductors, and an issue of CeRh$_2$As$_2$ is resolved.
