Competition between spin-singlet and -triplet superconducting states in the doped extended Kitaev-Heisenberg model

Recently, the extended Kitaev-Heisenberg model has been proposed to describe spin-orbital Mott insulators, such as iridate oxides and ruthenium chloride with honeycomb lattice. Using mean-field theory, we obtain the linear gap equations to find all possible superconducting phases in terms of differe...
