Abstract

We model the newly predicted high-Tc superconducting candidates constructed by corner-shared trigonal bipyramidal complexes with an effective three-orbital tight-binding Hamiltonian and investigate the pairing symmetry of their superconducting states driven by electron-electron interactions. Our combined weak- and strong-coupling-based calculations consistently identify the chiral d+id superconductivity as the leading pairing symmetry in a wide doping range with realistic interaction parameters. This pairing state has a nontrivial topological Chern number and can host gapless chiral edge modes, and the vortex cores under magnetic field can carry Majorana zero modes.
