Time-reversal symmetry-breaking superconductivity in epitaxial bismuth/nickel bilayers

X Gong, M Kargarian, A Stern, D Yue, H Zhou, X Jin… - Science …, 2017 - science.org
Superconductivity that spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry (TRS) has been found,
so far, only in a handful of three-dimensional (3D) crystals with bulk inversion symmetry. We …

Entanglement spectrum as a probe for the topology of a spin-orbit-coupled superconductor

J Borchmann, A Farrell, S Matsuura, T Pereg-Barnea - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
The classification of electron systems according to their topology has been at the forefront of
condensed matter research in recent years. It has been found that systems of the same …

Electronic structure and phonon-mediated superconductivity in ScIrP compound: First-principles calculations

AS Cuamba, HY Lu, CS Ting - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
In this work, we study the electronic structure, lattice dynamics, and the electron-phonon
interaction of the ScIrP compound using a first-principles method. The band structure has a …

Nontrivial superconductivity in two-dimensional superconductors with both magnetic field and spin-orbit coupling

X Yan, F Yuan, Q Gu - Solid State Communications, 2018 - Elsevier
Symmetry broken in a superconducting (SC) system is believed to affect the
superconductivity, especially in the case of both time-reversal and inversion symmetry …

Quasiparticle interference patterns in a topological superconductor

A Farrell, M Beaudry, M Franz, T Pereg-Barnea - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
In light of recent proposals to realize a topological superconductor on the surface of strong
topological insulators, we study impurity and vortex scattering in two-dimensional …

Incommensurate spin density wave as a signature of spin-orbit coupling and precursor of topological superconductivity

A Farrell, PK Wu, YJ Kao, T Pereg-Barnea - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
On a square lattice, the Hubbard model at half filling reduces to the Heisenberg model and
exhibits antiferromagnetism. When doped away from half filling this model gives rise to d …
