The bound states around a vortex in anisotropic superconductors is a longstanding yet important issue. In this work, we develop a variational theory on the basis of the Andreev approximation to obtain the energy levels and wave functions of…
Domain walls can be formed in superconductors with a discrete degeneracy of the ground state, for instance, due to the breaking of time reversal symmetry. We study all cases where the formation of domain walls is possible in a tetragonal…
Making use of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation, we study the quasi-particle spectrum and the vortex core structure of a single vortex in quasi 2D s-wave superconductors for small p_F xi_0, where p_F is the Fermi momentum and…
We show that an induced $s$-wave harmonic in the superconducting gap of an orthorhombic $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconductor strongly affects the excitation spectrum near a twinning plane. In particular, it yields bound states of zero energy with…
Based on the quasiclassical theory, we investigate the vortex state in a two-band superconductor with a small gap on a three dimensional Fermi surface and a large gap on a quasi-two dimensional one, as in MgB_2. The field dependence of…
We study the effects of non-magnetic impurity scattering on the Andreev bound states (ABS) in an isolated vortex in a two-dimensional chiral p-wave superconductor numerically. We incorporate the impurity scattering effects into the…
We consider the problem of the vortex contribution to thermal properties of dirty d-wave superconductors. In the clean limit, Volovik has argued that the main contribution to the density of states in a d-wave superconductor arises from…
We theoretically study the crossed Andreev reflection in a hybrid nanostructure which comprises a d-wave superconductor and two normal-metal quantum wires. When the superconductor of the (110) oriented surface is in contact with the wires…
We study vortex structure in a two-band superconductor, in which one band is ballistic and quasi-two-dimensional (2D), and the other is diffusive and three-dimensional (3D). A circular cell approximation of the vortex lattice within the…
By methods of quasiclassical asymptotics the behaviour of the integrated density of states for 1D periodic nanostructures at the zero bias limit is studied. It is shown that the density of states at the zero bias limit has no regular limit…
The influence of the spin-dependent phase shifts (SDPS) associated to the electronic reflection and transmission amplitudes acquired by electrons upon scattering on the potential barrier on the Andreev reflection probability of electron and…
The boundaries of quantum materials can host a variety of exotic effects such as topologically robust edge states or anyonic quasiparticles. Here, we show that fermionic systems such as graphene that admit a low energy Dirac description can…
We present results for the steady-state nonlinear response of a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconducting film connected to normal-metal reservoirs under voltage bias, allowing for a subdominant $s$-wave component appearing near the interfaces. Our…
We theoretically study physical properties of the low-energy quasiparticle excitations at the vortex core in the full-gap superconducting state of the Kondo lattice coupled to compensated metals. Based on the mean-field description of the…
The problem of d-wave quasiparticles in a weakly disordered Abrikosov vortex lattice is studied. Starting with a periodic lattice, the topological structure of the magnetic crystal momenta of gapless fermions is found for the particle-hole…
A conceptual consideration is given to a zero-energy state (ZES) at the surface of unconventional superconductors. The reflection coefficients in normal-metal / superconductor (NS) junctions are calculated based on a phenomenological…
Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces of superconducting states arise from point or line nodes by breaking time-reversal symmetry. Because line and point nodes often accompany topologically protected zero-energy surface Andreev bound states (ASBSs) and…
We investigate the vortex structure assuming the d-density wave scenario of the pseudogap. We discuss the profiles of the order parameters in the vicinity of the vortex, effective vortex charge and the local density of states. We find a…
A weak scattering potential imposed on a $CuO_2$ layer of a cuprate superconductor modulates the local density of states $N(x,\omega)$. In recently reported experimental studies scanning-tunneling maps of $N(x,\omega)$ have been Fourier…
In the topological superconductor with the nematic superconductivity in $E_u$ representation, it is possible to have different types of vortices. One is associated with the vorticity in the particle-hole space and corresponds to the…
