The most well-known example of an ordered quantum state—superconductivity—is caused
by the formation and condensation of pairs of electrons. Fundamentally, what distinguishes …

Spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking by disorder in superconductors

BM Andersen, A Kreisel, PJ Hirschfeld - Frontiers in Physics, 2024 - frontiersin.org
A growing number of superconducting materials display evidence for spontaneous time-
reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) below their critical transition temperatures. Precisely …

Second-order topological superconductors with mixed pairing

X Zhu - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We show that a two-dimensional semiconductor with Rashba spin-orbit coupling could be
driven into the second-order topological superconducting phase when a mixed-pairing state …

Superconductivity with broken time-reversal symmetry inside a superconducting s-wave state

V Grinenko, R Sarkar, K Kihou, CH Lee, I Morozov… - Nature Physics, 2020 - nature.com
In general, magnetism and superconductivity are antagonistic to each other. However, there
are several families of superconductors in which superconductivity coexists with magnetism …

Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking Superconductors: Sr2RuO4 and Beyond

KI Wysokiński - Condensed Matter, 2019 - mdpi.com
Recent work done on the time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking superconductors is
reviewed in this paper. The special attention is paid to Sr 2 RuO 4 believed to be spin triplet …

Prediction of time-reversal-symmetry breaking fermionic quadrupling condensate in twisted bilayer graphene

I Maccari, J Carlström, E Babaev - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Recent mean-field calculations suggest that the superconducting state of twisted bilayer
graphene exhibits either a nematic order or a spontaneous breakdown of the time-reversal …

superconductivity with incipient bands: Doping dependence and STM signatures

J Böker, PA Volkov, KB Efetov, I Eremin - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
Motivated by the recent observations of small Fermi energies and comparatively large
superconducting gaps, present also on bands not crossing the Fermi energy (incipient …

Distinguishing between and pairing symmetries in multiband superconductors through spontaneous magnetization pattern induced by a defect

SZ Lin, S Maiti, A Chubukov - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
The symmetry of the pairing state in iron pnictide superconductor Ba 1− x K x Fe 2 As 2 is
still controversial. At optimal doping (x≈ 0.4), it is very likely s wave, but for x= 1 there are …

Type-1.5 superconductivity in multicomponent systems

E Babaev, J Carlström, M Silaev, JM Speight - Physica C: Superconductivity …, 2017 - Elsevier
In general a superconducting state breaks multiple symmetries and, therefore, is
characterized by several different coherence lengths ξ i, i= 1,…, N. Moreover in multiband …
