Effects of longer-range Coulomb interactions on the superconducting state of the Kagome system AV3Sb5

ORAL

Abstract

With the recent discovery of superconductivity in the Kagome material AV3Sb5, the nature of the superconducting gap symmetry has been under debate. In this work, we investigate spin- and charge-fluctuation mediated superconducting pairing phenomena in AV3Sb5, taking into account both local and longer-range Coulomb interactions at different fillings. In the presence of longer-range Coulomb interaction, charge fluctuations are enhanced which substantially modifies the pairing symmetries and hence, the leading order instabilities. Our results shed light on the role of longer-range Coulomb repulsion in deciding the nature of superconductivity in the Kagome system, which is already known to display a variety of phenomena arising out of sublattice interference due to its underlying lattice structure. We analyze the properties of these states and compare them with available experimental data.
