Bogoliubov-Fermi Surfaces in Noncentrosymmetric Multicomponent Superconductors
1Department of Physics, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada V5A 1S6.
Abstract:
We show that when the time reversal symmetry is broken in a multicomponent superconducting condensate without inversion symmetry the resulting Bogoliubov quasiparticles generically exhibit mini-Bogoliubov-Fermi (BF) surfaces, for small superconducting order parameter. The absence of inversion symmetry makes the BF surfaces stable with respect to weak perturbations. With sufficient increase of the order parameter, however, the Bogoliubov-Fermi surface may disappear through a Lifshitz transition, and the spectrum this way become fully gapped. Our demonstration is based on the computation of the effective Hamiltonian for the bands near the normal Fermi surface by the integration over high-energy states. Exceptions to the rule, and experimental consequences are briefly discussed.

Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor
In the 19th century, Michael Faraday conducted the famous ice pail experiment to prove that the charges always reside on the surface of a conductor. The experimental set-up consists of a conducting uncharged container mounted on an insulating stand. The outer surface of the container is...
