It is well-known that when the magnetic field is stronger than a critical value, the spin imbalance can break the Cooper pairs of electrons and hence hinder the superconductivity in a spin-singlet channel. In a bilayer system of ultra-cold…

Noncentrosymmetric superconductor PbTaSe$_2$, hosting bulk nodal-line fermions (Phys. Rev. B. 89, 020505) and spin-helical surface states (Nature Communication 7, 10556), represents a prime candidate for realizing topological…
We study Andreev bound state (ABS) and surface density of state (SDOS) of non-centrosymmetric superconductor where spin-singlet $d$-wave pairing mixes with spin-triplet $p$ (or $f)$-wave one by spin-orbit coupling. For $d_{xy} + p$-wave…
