Majorana bound states often occur at the end of 1D topological superconductor or at the $\pi$ Josephson junction mediated by a helical edge state. Validated by a new bulk invariant and an intuitive edge argument, we show the emergence of…

We study the topological properties of superconductors with paired $j=\frac{3}{2}$ quasiparticles. Higher spin Fermi surfaces can arise, for instance, in strongly spin-orbit coupled band-inverted semimetals. Examples include the Bi-based…
We demonstrate how crystalline symmetry lowering, as for instance through strain, allows elemental superconductors such as vanadium and niobium to realize spin-singlet orbitally polarized Cooper pairs composed of electrons with identical…
Strongly correlated systems exhibit a rich phenomenology due to the antagonism of a diversity of ordered phases. The aftermath of this interplay can lead to a coexistence which takes place at a microscopic level, or, a phase separation in…

In this work we study the effects of interactions and disorder on $1D$ DIII topological superconductors and the Majorana Kramers doublets (MKDs). In contract to the case without the time-reversal symmetry, the Umklapp interaction plays…
Since the proposal of monopole Cooper pairing in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 067003 (2018)], considerable research efforts have been dedicated to the study of Cooper pairing order parameters constrained (or obstructed) by the nontrivial…
We propose a route to detect Majorana bound states (MBSs) by coupling a topological superconductor to quantum dots (QDs) in a $pnp$ junction. Here, two MBSs are coherently coupled to electrons on two QDs, which recombine with holes to…
The electric dipole moments (EDMs) of charged leptons are significantly suppressed in standard model. It has been found previously that they are even more severely suppressed in seesaw type models by powers of tiny neutrino masses as far as…
Pairing correlation of Cooper pair is a fundamental property of multi-fermion interacting systems. For nucleons, two modes of the Cooper-pair coupling may exist, namely of $S_{12}=0$ with $L_{12}=0$ (spin-singlet s-wave) and $S_{12}=1$ with…
