Abstract

As a model of the novel superconductor Na_x CoO₂ · y H₂ O, we study a triangular Hubbard model with doubly degenerate atomic orbitals, using an optimization variational Monte Carlo method. It is found that when the isolated Fermi surface overlaps the van Hove singularity points, d_{x2 - y2} and d + i d-wave superconducting states, among various pairing symmetries, become stabilized by large Coulomb interactions. The pairing is originating from the interaction-energy gain induced dominantly by the enhancement of antiferromagnetic spin correlations. The possibility of triplet pairing is limited for the present parameterization.
