The diamagnetism is an essential property of all superconductors. However, we will show that small topological (or unconventional) superconductors can be intrinsically paramagnetic by solving the quasiclassical Eilenberger equation and Maxwell self-consistently on two-dimensional superconducting disks in weak magnetic fields. Because topologically nontrivial character wave function, unconventional host zero-energy surface Andreev bound states, which always accompany so-called odd-frequency...

We study theoretically the spontaneous edge current in a small chiral superconductor with surface roughness. obtained self-consistent solutions of pair potential and vector by solving quasiclassical Eilenberger equation Maxwell simultaneously. then employed them to calculate numerically spatial distribution superconductor. The characteristic behavior depends strongly on symmetries order parameters such as $p$-, $d$-, $f$-wave pairing. is robust under roughness $p$- $d$-wave superconductors....

We theoretically study the effects of surface roughness on magnetic response small unconventional superconductors by solving Eilenberger equation for quassiclassical Green function and Maxwell vector potential simultaneously self-consistently. The paramagnetic phase spin-singlet $d$-wave superconducting disks is greatly suppressed roughness, whereas that spin-triplet $p$-wave robust even in presence roughness. This difference derives from orbital symmetry odd-frequency Cooper pairs appearing...

We examine the tunneling spectroscopy of three-dimensional normal-$\mathrm{metal}/{\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{RuO}}_{4}$ junctions as an experimental means to identify pairing symmetry in ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{RuO}}_{4}$. In particular, we consider three different possible states ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{RuO}}_{4}$: spin-singlet chiral $d$-wave, spin-triplet helical $p$-wave, and spin-nematic $f$-wave ones, all which are consistent with recent nuclear-magnetic-resonance experiments [A....

Andreev bound states (ABS) occur in Josephson junctions when the total phase of and normal reflections is a multiple $2\pi$. In ballistic with an applied voltage bias, quasi-particle undergoes before entering leads, resulting peaks current-voltage $I(V)$ curve. Here we present general model for spin-active interlayers i.e., magnetic or topological materials broken time-reversal symmetry. We investigate how ABS change peak positions shape $I(V)$, which becomes asymmetric single incident...

The Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) state appears as a bound of quasiparticle at magnetic atom embedded in superconductor. We discuss why the YSR has energy below superconducting gap and pair potential changes sign atom. Although superconductor been considered breaker since 1960s, we propose an alternative physical picture to explain these reasons. analytical expression Green's function indicates that converts spin-singlet $s$-wave Cooper into odd-frequency pairs rather than breaking it pairing...

After more than 25 years of research, three even-parity superconducting states—the d+id-wave, d+ig-wave, and s+id-wave states—have emerged as leading candidates for the states Sr2RuO4. In present work, we propose a tunneling spectroscopy experiment distinguishing among these states. The key component our proposal is that examine conductance spectra normal-metal/Sr2RuO4 junctions with various angles between junction interface crystal axis angle dependence shows unique pattern in each state,...
