Abstract We study various particle–hole excitations and possible superconducting pairings mediated by these fluctuations in doped α-RuCl3 by using multi-band Hubbard model with all t2g orbitals. By performing a random-phase-approximation (RPA) analysis, we find that among all particle–hole excitations, the j eff = 1/2 pseudospin fluctuations are dominant, suggesting the robustness of j eff = 1/2 picture even in the doped systems. We also find that the most favorable superconducting state has a d-wave pairing symmetry.
