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 …

Thermoelectric signatures of time-reversal symmetry breaking states in multiband superconductors

J Garaud, M Silaev, E Babaev - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We show that superconductors with broken time-reversal symmetry have very specific
magnetic and electric responses to inhomogeneous heating. A local heating of such …

Spontaneous currents in a superconductor with symmetry

S Maiti, M Sigrist, A Chubukov - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We analyze the s+ is state that is proposed as a candidate superconducting state for strongly
hole-doped Ba 1− x K x Fe 2 As 2. Such a state breaks time-reversal symmetry (TRS) but …
