چکیده
The possible symmetries of the superconducting pair amplitude is a consequence fermionic nature Cooper pairs. For spin-$1/2$ systems this leads to $\mathcal{SPOT}=-1$ classification superconductivity, where $\mathcal{S}$, $\mathcal{P}$, $\mathcal{O}$, and $\mathcal{T}$ refer exchange operators for spin, parity, orbital, time between paired electrons. However, no longer holds higher spin fermions, each electron also possesses finite orbital angular momentum strongly coupled with degree freedom, giving instead conserved total moment. such systems, we here introduce $\mathcal{JPT}=-1$ classification, $\mathcal{J}$ operator $z$-component quantum numbers. We then specifically focus on spin-$3/2$ fermion several cubic half-Heusler compounds that have recently been proposed be superconductors. By using generic Hamiltonian suitable these calculate amplitudes find all obeying including odd-frequency (odd-$\omega$) combinations. Moreover, one very interesting properties superconductors possibility them hosting Bogoliubov Fermi surface (BFS), energy gap closed across area. show superconductor potential satisfying an odd-gap time-reversal product being non-commuting normal-state hosts both BFS has odd-$\omega$ amplitudes. reduce full effective two-band model pairing inevitably present in vice versa.

Odd-Parity Superconductivity in the Vicinity of Inversion Symmetry Breaking in Spin-Orbit-Coupled Systems.
We study superconductivity in spin-orbit-coupled systems in the vicinity of inversion symmetry breaking. We find that, because of the presence of spin-orbit coupling, fluctuations of the incipient parity-breaking order generate an attractive pairing interaction in an odd-parity pairing channel, which competes with the s-wave pairing. We show that Coulomb repulsion or an external Zeeman field su...
متن کاملNesting, spin fluctuations, and odd-gap superconductivity in NaxCoO2.yH2O.
We calculated the one-electron susceptibility of hydrated NaxCoO2 and find strong nesting, involving about 70% of all electrons at the Fermi level and nearly commensurate with a 2 x 2 superstructure. This nesting creates a tendency to a charge density wave compatible with the charge order often seen at x approximately 0.5 and usually ascribed to electrostatic repulsion of Na ions. In the spin c...
متن کاملMixed-symmetry superconductivity in two-dimensional Fermi liquids.
We consider a 2D isotropic Fermi liquid with attraction in both s and d channels and examine the possibility of a superconducting state with mixed s and d symmetry of the gap function. We show that both in the weak coupling limit and at strong coupling, a mixed s + id symmetry state is realized in a certain range of interaction. Phase transitions between the mixed and the pure symmetry states a...
متن کاملSuperconductivity with Deformed Fermi Surfaces and Compact Stars
I discuss the deformed Fermi surface superconductivity (DFS) and some of its alternatives in the context of nucleonic superfluids and two flavor color superconductors that may exist in the densest regions of compact stellar objects.
متن کاملTopological classification and stability of Fermi surfaces.
In the framework of the Cartan classification of Hamiltonians, a kind of topological classification of Fermi surfaces is established in terms of topological charges. The topological charge of a Fermi surface depends on its codimension and the class to which its Hamiltonian belongs. It is revealed that six types of topological charges exist, and they form two groups with respect to the chiral sy...
