Polar type density of states in non-unitary odd-parity superconducting states of gap with point nodes

چکیده

It is shown that the density of states (DOS) proportional to the excitation energy, the so-called polar like DOS, can arise in the odd-parity states with the superconducting gap vanishing at points even if the spin-orbit interaction for Cooper pairing is strong enough. Such gap stuructures are realized in the non-unitary states, F1u(1, i, 0), F1u(1, ε, ε ), and F2u(1, i, 0), classified by Volovik and Gorkov, Sov. Phys.−JETP 61 (1985) 843. This is due to the fact that the gap vanishes in quadratic manner around the point on the Fermi surface. It is also shown that the region of quadratic energy dependence of DOS, in the state F2u(1, ε, ε ), is restricted in very small energy region making it difficult to distinguish from the polar-like DOS.

Experimental evidence for s-wave pairing symmetry in superconducting Cu(x)Bi2Se3 single crystals using a scanning tunneling microscope.

Topological superconductors represent a newly predicted phase of matter that is topologically distinct from conventional superconducting condensates of Cooper pairs. As a manifestation of their topological character, topological superconductors support solid-state realizations of Majorana fermions at their boundaries. The recently discovered superconductor Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3) has been theoretically...

Superconducting States in Doped Topological Materials

There are considerable interests in topological superconductivity in condensed matter physics. In this talk, I will present our recent works on topological superconductors and the related phenomena. In particular, I will discuss how topological non-trivial structures in normal states may arise non-trivial quantum phenomena in the superconducting states. As examples, I will discuss odd parity su...

Introduction to unconventional superconductivity in non-centrosymmetric metals

These lecture notes are an extension of my previous notes [1] presented in this lecture series and are concerned with the recently emerging research field of unconventional superconductivity in non-centrosymmetric metals. Inversion symmetry together with time reversal symmetry represent key symmetries for the formation of Cooper pairs in superconductors and allows to distinguish between even-pa...

Andreev Bound-states of vortices and surfaces in topological superconductors

We propose an experimental way to determine the pairing states for the unconventional superconductor CuxBi2Se3. Using the spectral polynomial expansion method, we numerically calculate the local density of states (LDOS) in the multi-orbital tight-binding model and analytically obtain the zero-energy solution around a vortex. Both calculations reveal that a quantized vortex is spin-polarized for...

بررسی تحلیلی چگالی حالتهای موضعی در پیوندگاه جوزفسون بین ابررساناهای دمای بالا (D-I-D)

  In this paper, the density of states (DOS) of a planar d-wave Josephson junction is studied analytically. Two high temperature superconductors are separated by an interface with finite transparency coefficient. The c-axes are parallel to the interface and ab-axes have a mis-orientation. The tunneling occurs via the interface because of phase difference between superconducting bulks. The effec...
