Gapless excitations in strongly fluctuating superconducting wires.
We study the low-temperature tunneling density of states of thin wires where superconductivity is destroyed through quantum phase-slip proliferation. Although this regime is believed to behave as an insulator, we show that for a large temperature range this phase is characterized by a conductivity falling off at most linearly with temperature, and has a gapless excitation spectrum. This novel c...
متن کاملAxion response in gapless systems.
The strong topological insulator in 3D is expected to realize a quantized magnetoelectric response, the so-called axion response. However, many of the materials predicted to be topological insulators have turned out to be metallic, with bulk Fermi surfaces. Following the result of Bergman and Refael [Phys. Rev. B 82, 195417 (2010)] that the surface states of the topological insulator persist ev...
متن کاملGapless phases of color-superconducting matter
We discuss gapless color superconductivity for neutral quark matter in β equilibrium at zero as well as at nonzero temperature. Basic properties of gapless superconductors are reviewed. The current progress and the remaining problems in the understanding of the phase diagram of strange quark matter are discussed. PACS numbers: 12.38.-t, 12.38.Aw, 12.38.Mh, 26.60.+c Submitted to: J. Phys. G: Nuc...
متن کاملGapless formation in the K condensed color-flavor locked quark matter : a model-independent treatment
The electric/color neutral solution and the critical conditions for gapless formation are investigated in the K condensed color-flavor locked matter. We point out that there exist no longer gapless modes for down-strange quark pairing while the gapless phenomenon for up-strange one is dominated in the K condensed environment. In a model-independent way, the phase transition to the resulting gap...
متن کاملOn Magnetic Impurities in Gapless Fermi Systems
In ordinary metals, antiferromagnetic exchange between conduction electrons and a magnetic impurity leads to screening of the impurity spin below the Kondo temperature, TK . In systems such as semimetals, small-gap semiconductors and unconventional superconductors, a reduction in available conduction states near the chemical potential can greatly depress TK . The behavior of an Anderson impurit...
