At zero energy the Dirac equation has interesting behaviour. The asymmetry in the number of spin up and spin down modes is determined by the topology of both space and the gauge field in which the system sits. An analogous phenomenon also…

We consider excitation spectrum near a twin boundary in an orthorhombic $d+s$ superconductor. The low-energy spectrum is highly sensitive to the presence of the small amount of s-wave component. Robustness of the bound states at the Fermi…
Unconventional d-wave superconductors with pair-breaking edges are predicted to have ground states with spontaneously broken time-reversal and translational symmetries. We use the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity to demonstrate…
