Vacancies are prevalent and versatile in solid-state physics and materials science. The role of vacancies in strongly correlated materials, however, remains uncultivated until now. Here, we report the discovery of an unprecedented vacancy state forming an extended buckled-honeycomb-vacancy (BHV) ordering in Ir$_{16}$Sb$_{18}$. Superconductivity emerges by suppressing the BHV ordering through squeezing of extra Ir atoms into the vacancies or isovalent Rh substitution. The phase diagram on vacancy ordering reveals the superconductivity competes with the BHV ordering. Further theoretical calculations suggest that this ordering originates from a synergistic effect of the vacancy formation energy and Fermi surface nesting with a wave vector of (1/3, 1/3, 0). The buckled structure breaks the crystal inversion symmetry and can mostly suppress the density of states near the Fermi level. The peculiarities of BHV ordering highlight the importance of correlated vacancies and may serve as a paradigm for exploring other non-trivial excitations and quantum criticality.

Fermi surface nesting, as a peculiar reciprocal space feature, is not only closely correlated with the real space superstructure, but also directly modulates the underlying electronic behavior. In this work, we elucidate the Fermi surface nesting fea
ture of the IrSb compound with buckled-honeycomb-vacancy (BHV) ordering through Rh and Sn doping, and its correlation with structure and electronic state evolution. The advantageous substitution of atom sites (i.e., Rh on the Ir sites, Sn on the Sb sites, respectively), rather than the direct occupation of vacancies, induces the collapse of BHV order and the emergence of superconductivity. The distinct superconducting behavior of Rh and Sn incorporated systems are ascribed to the mismatch of Fermi surface nesting in the Sn case.
Superconductivity and structural properties of Mg1-xAlxB2 materials have been systematically investigated. Evident modifications in both superconductivity and microstructure are identified to originate from the Al ordering along the c-axis direction.
The resultant superstructure phase has an optimal composition of MgAlB4 with the superconducting transition at around 12K. Brief diagrams illustrating the superconductivity and structural features of Mg1-xAlxB2 materials along with the increase of Al concentration are presented.
We predict two topological superconducting phases in microscopic models arising from the Berry phase associated with the valley degree of freedom in gapped Dirac honeycomb systems. The first one is a topological helical spin-triplet superconductor wi
th a nonzero center-of-mass momentum that does not break time-reversal symmetry. We also find a topological chiral-triplet superconductor with Chern number $pm 1$ with equal-spin-pairing in one valley and opposite-spin-triplet pairing in the other valley. Our results are obtained for the Kane-Mele model in which we have explored the effect of three different interactions, onsite attraction $U$, nearest-neighbor density-density attraction $V$, and nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange $J$, within self-consistent Bogoliubov--de Gennes theory. Transition metal dichalcogenides and cold atom experiments are promising platforms to explore these phases.
We discuss a pairing mechanism in interacting two-dimensional multipartite lattices that intrinsically leads to a second order topological superconducting state with a spatially modulated gap. When the chemical potential is close to Dirac points, opp
ositely moving electrons on the Fermi surface undergo an interference phenomenon in which the Berry phase converts a repulsive electron-electron interaction into an effective attraction. The topology of the superconducting phase manifests as gapped edge modes in the quasiparticle spectrum and Majorana Kramers pairs at the corners. We present symmetry arguments which constrain the possible form of the electron-electron interactions in these systems and classify the possible superconducting phases which result. Exact diagonalization of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian confirms the existence of gapped edge states and Majorana corner states, which strongly depend on the spatial structure of the gap. Possible applications to vanadium-based superconducting kagome metals AV$_3$Sb$_3$ (A=K,Rb,Cs) are discussed.
We study the possible superconducting pairing symmetry mediated by spin and charge fluctuations on the honeycomb lattice using the extended Hubbard model and the random-phase-approximation method. From $2%$ to $20%$ doping levels, a spin-singlet $d_{
x^{2}-y^{2}}+id_{xy}$-wave is shown to be the leading superconducting pairing symmetry when only the on-site Coulomb interaction $U$ is considered, with the gap function being a mixture of the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor pairings. When the offset of the energy level between the two sublattices exceeds a critical value, the most favorable pairing is a spin-triplet $f$-wave which is mainly composed of the next-nearest-neighbor pairing. We show that the next-nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction $V$ is also in favor of the spin-triplet $f$-wave pairing.
