    Abstract

    In this study, we propose an alternative route to realizing topological superconductivity (TSC). Our approach targets a new class of correlated noncentrosymmetric materials that host two spin-split Fermi surfaces due to spin-orbital intertwined effects. By investigating the superconducting pairings based on two-orbital Rashba-Hubbard model on a square lattice within a spin-fluctuation-mediated pairing framework, we find that, depending on model parameters, the leading superconducting state belongs to the A1(S±), B2, or B2(d±) irreducible representations (IRs) of the C4v point group. Notably, the A1(S±) state features a sign-changed gap between the two spin-split Fermi surfaces and exhibits two key characteristics: (i) it is a parity-mixed state, with the ratio of even-parity to odd-parity components tunable via the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) strength and onsite orbital-dependent potential; (ii) it is a fully gapped TSC, characterized by a Z2 topological invariant. When RSOC is strong, the B2(d±) state can emerge and exhibits both parity-mixed and nodal TSC features. Further analysis reveals that the fully gapped TSC can be predominated by spin-singlet, despite the presence of the spin-triplet components. This distinguishes our case from single-orbital noncentrosymmetric materials, where TSC arises from p-wave or f-wave spin-triplet pairing. In those systems, the Fermi level must be tuned near a van Hove singularity to enhance ferromagnetic fluctuations that drive the spin-triplet pairing. These distinctions enhance the experimental feasibility of our model.
