Tunneling spectroscopy at surfaces of unconventional superconductors has proven an invaluable tool for obtaining information about the pairing symmetry. It is known that mid gap Andreev bound states manifest itself as a zero bias…
The superconducting order parameter and LDOS spectra near an impenetrable surface are studied on the basis of selfconsistent calculations for a two band superconductor with nodeless extended s-+wave order parameter symmetry, as possibly…
Apparently conflicting phase-sensitive measurements of the order parameter symmetry in the high-T$_c$ superconductors may be explained by regions near surfaces in which the order parameter symmetry is different than in the bulk. These…
The structure of superconducting order parameter near the surface of a two-band superconductor with $s_{\pm}$ order parameter in the bulk is theoretically investigated. The main parameter of the surface, which determines the appropriate…
We investigate the influence of spin-orbit coupling in a non-centrosymmetric superconductor on its ground state properties near a surface. We determine the spectrum of Andreev bound states due to surface-induced mixing of bands with…
We study the properties of an anisotropically paired superconductor in the presence of a specularly reflecting surface. The bulk stable phase of the superconducting order parameter is taken to have $d_{x^2-y^2}$ symmetry. Contributions by…
The non-centrosymmetric superconductors Li2Pd3B and Li2Pt3B show different superconducting properties despite having the same crystal symmetry. Motivated by experimental results, we investigate the spin susceptibility of non-centrosymmetric…
Topological superconductors are exotic phases of matter featuring robust surface states that could be leveraged for topological quantum computation. A useful guiding principle for the search of topological superconductors is to relate the…
I review the principal theories that have been proposed for the superconducting phases of UPt$_3$. The detailed H-T phase diagram places constraints on any theory for the multiple superconducting phases. I comment on the limitations of the…
We present calculations of the tunneling density of states in an anisotropically paired superconductor for two different sample geometries: a semi-infinite system with a single specular wall, and a slab of finite thickness and infinite…
Surface superconductivity is studied within Ginzburg-Landau theory for two classes of models for the order parameter of UPt$_{3}$. The first class assumes two independent one-dimensional order parameters ($AB$ models), while the second…
Intense experimental and theoretical efforts have recently been brought to bear on the determination of the symmetry of superconducting order parameter in high T$_c$ Cuprates as this would shed light on the nature of microscopic…
A characteristic feature of the BCS theory of superconductivity is the quantum-mechanical coherence of particle and hole states. Direct observation of particle-hole coherence in unusual superconducting materials is a strong indication of…
We model the Fermi surface of the cuprates by one-dimensional nested parts near $(0,\pi)$ and $(\pi,0)$ and unnested parts near the zone diagonals. Fermions in the nested regions form 1D spin liquids, and develop spectral gaps below some…
Recently, noncentrosymmetric superconductor BiPd has attracted considerable research interest due to the possibility of being a topological superconductor. Here, we report a systematic high-resolution angle resolved photoemission…
We examine weak-coupling theory for unconventional superconducting states of cubic or tetrahedral symmetry for arbitrary order parameters and Fermi surfaces and identify the stable states in zero applied field. We further examine the…
We discuss the surface spectral function of superconductors realized from a topological insulator, such as the copper-intercalated Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$. These functions are calculated by projecting bulk states to the surface for two different…
Topological superconductors have become a subject of intense research due to their potential use for technical applications in device fabrication and quantum information. Besides fully gapped superconductors, unconventional superconductors…
Spin-triplet superconductivity (SC) offers a unique avenue for realizing non-Abelian Majorana zero modes and thus the fault-tolerant topological quantum computation, and has attracted a broad audience for both fundamental research and…
We study theoretically the topological surface states (TSSs) and the possible surface Andreev bound states (SABSs) of Cu$_{x}$Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ which is known to be a topological insulator at $x=0$. The superconductivity (SC) pairing of this…
