Three-dimensional Dirac semimetals (DSMs) have been shown to exhibit one-dimensional hinge modes which are termed the higher-order hinge Fermi-arc (HOFA) states. They are the topological consequences of Dirac points. Superconducting states…

If the topological insulator Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ is doped with electrons, superconductivity with $T_{{\rm c}}\approx3-4\:{\rm K}$ emerges for a low density of carriers ($n\approx10^{20}{\rm cm}^{-3}$) and with a small ratio of the…

We study the intrinsic fully-gapped odd-parity superconducting order in doped nodal-loop materials with a torus-shaped Fermi surface. We show that the mirror symmetry, which protects the nodal loop in the normal state, also protects the…
