Topological Superconductivity in Dirac Semimetals.
Dirac semimetals host bulk band-touching Dirac points and a surface Fermi loop. We develop a theory of superconducting Dirac semimetals. Establishing a relation between the Dirac points and the surface Fermi loop, we clarify how the nontrivial topology of Dirac semimetals affects their superconducting state. We note that the unique orbital texture of Dirac points and a structural phase transiti...
متن کاملHigh-temperature superconductivity from fine-tuning of Fermi-surface singularities in iron oxypnictides
In the family of the iron-based superconductors, the REFeAsO-type compounds (with RE being a rare-earth metal) exhibit the highest bulk superconducting transition temperatures (Tc) up to 55 K and thus hold the key to the elusive pairing mechanism. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the intrinsic electronic structure of SmFe0.92Co0.08AsO (Tc = 18 K) is highly nontrivial and consists of mult...
متن کاملTopological RPdBi half-Heusler semimetals: A new family of noncentrosymmetric magnetic superconductors
We report superconductivity and magnetism in a new family of topological semimetals, the ternary half-Heusler compound RPdBi (R: rare earth). In this series, tuning of the rare earth f-electron component allows for simultaneous control of both lattice density via lanthanide contraction and the strength of magnetic interaction via de Gennes scaling, allowing for a unique tuning of the normal-sta...
متن کاملTopological Superconductivity and High Chern Numbers in 2D Ferromagnetic Shiba Lattices.
Inspired by the recent experimental observation of topological superconductivity in ferromagnetic chains, we consider a dilute 2D lattice of magnetic atoms deposited on top of a superconducting surface with a Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show that the studied system supports a generalization of px+ipy superconductivity and that its topological phase diagram contains Chern numbers higher than ...
متن کاملA Two Band Model for Superconductivity: Probing Interband Pair Formation
We propose a two band model for superconductivity. It turns out that the simplest nontrivial case considers solely interband scattering, and both bands can be modeled as symmetric (around the Fermi level) and flat, thus each band is completely characterized by its half-band width Wn (n=1,2). A useful dimensionless parameter is δ, proportional to W2−W1. The case δ = 0 retrieves the conventional ...
