Abstract
Whether the doped t-J model on the Kagome lattice supports exotic superconductivity has not been decisively answered. In this Letter, we propose a new class of variational states for this model and perform a large-scale variational Monte Carlo simulation on it. The proposed variational states are parameterized by the SU(2)-gauge rotation angles, as the SU(2)-gauge structure hidden in the Gutzwiller-projected mean-field Ansatz for the undoped model is broken upon doping. These variational doped states smoothly connect to the previously studied U(1) -flux or 0-flux states, and energy minimization among them yields a chiral noncentrosymmetric nematic superconducting state with -enlarged unit cell. Moreover, this pair density wave state possesses a finite Fermi surface for the Bogoliubov quasiparticles. We further study experimentally relevant properties of this intriguing pairing state.
