Leggett modes in iron-based superconductors as a probe of time-reversal symmetry breaking
Since their discovery, it has been suggested that pairing in pnictides can be mediated by spin fluctuations between hole and electron bands. In this view, multiband superconductivity would substantially differ from other systems like MgB2, where pairing is predominantly intraband. Indeed, interband-dominated pairing leads to the coexistence of bonding and antibonding superconducting channels. H...
متن کاملFractional vortices as evidence of time-reversal symmetry breaking in high-temperature superconductors.
We argue that recent experiments by Kirtley et al. [1] may show evidence of time reversal symmetry breaking in YBa2Cu3O7 at crystal grain boundaries. We illustrate this through a Ginzburg-Landau model calculation. Further experimental tests are proposed. 74.20.De, 74.50.+r, 74.72 Typeset using REVTEX 1 In a recent paper, Kirtley et al. [1] reported the observation of magnetic defects at artific...
متن کاملTunneling Gap as Evidence for Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking at Surfaces of High-Temperature Superconductors
It is argued that recent Josephson junction and point-contact tunneling experiments, interpreted as intended by their authors, indicate that time-reversal symmetry breaking occurs at surfaces of cuprate superconductors. The variation among experiments and the failure of previous searches to find T -violation are ascribed to disorder and effects of 3-dimensionality. The “anyon” approach to the t...
متن کاملThermoelectric Signatures of Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking States in Multiband Superconductors.
We show that superconductors with broken time-reversal symmetry have very specific magnetic and electric responses to inhomogeneous heating. A local heating of such superconductors induces a magnetic field with a profile that is sensitive to the presence of domain walls and crystalline anisotropy of superconducting states. A nonstationary heating process produces an electric field and a charge ...
متن کاملTime-reversal symmetry breaking by a (d+id) density-wave state in underdoped cuprate superconductors.
It was proposed that the id(x(2)-y(2)) density-wave state (DDW) may be responsible for the pseudogap behavior in the underdoped cuprates. Here we show that the admixture of a small d(xy) component to the DDW state breaks the symmetry between the counterpropagating orbital currents of the DDW state and, thus, violates the macroscopic time-reversal symmetry. This symmetry breaking results in a no...
