Possible pairing symmetries in the ordered honeycomb network superconductor BaPtSb

Abstract

We investigate the pairing symmetry of the ordered honeycomb network superconductor BaPtSb, which has a crystal structure without inversion center. There is a preliminary μSR report which implies the broken time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting state. In this paper, we classify the pairing symmetry and examine the pairing instability. Among the unconventional states with time-reversal symmetry breaking, we find that the state with a gap structure compatible with Fermi surfaces is the spin-triplet chiral p-wave state.
