Higher-order topological superconductors in -, -odd quadrupolar Dirac materials

B Roy - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
The presence or absence of certain symmetries in the normal state (NS) also determines the
symmetry of the Cooper pairs. Here, we show that parity (P-) and time-reversal (T-) odd …

Antiunitary symmetry protected higher-order topological phases

B Roy - Physical Review Research, 2019 - APS
Higher-order topological (HOT) phases feature boundary (such as corner and hinge) modes
of codimension dc> 1. We here identify an antiunitary operator that ensures the spectral …
