Abstract: Due to the breaking of centrosymmetry and the effects of multi-orbital degrees of freedom, we have found that the electronic structure of certain material systems exhibits the characteristics of unconventional Rashba spin splitting, where the two split Fermi surfaces have the same spin texture. Further investigation into the superconducting state of such systems reveals the following: Based on the spin-fluctuation-induced superconductivity mechanism, this system can generate a superconducting state dominated by spin singlets . This pairing arises from a unique entanglement of spin and orbitals, independent of spin triplets. Moreover, due to the spin-texture characteristics of the Fermi surfaces, this superconducting state itself is a topological superconducting state characterized by a Z2=1 topological invariant. This distinguishes it from existing schemes for realizing topological superconductivity. We predict that such a topological superconducting state may be achievable in some high-temperature superconducting systems with broken centrosymmetry. Using a phenomenological superconducting theory, we find that for unconventional Rashba systems, in addition to the trivial s-wave superconducting state with zero momentum, the system can also produce a finite-momentum pairing superconducting state. The coexistence of these two states can explain certain characteristics of the pairing density wave state in iron-based superconductors. Furthermore, we propose utilizing the proximity effect in superconductivity to realize a finite-momentum pairing LO superconducting state in more general unconventional Rashba systems.
