Midgap surface states as a novel signature fordxa2-xb2-wave superconductivity
Abstract
It is shown that a sizable areal density of midgap states exists on a {110} surface of a ${\mathit{d}}_{\mathit{x}\mathit{a}}^{2}$-${\mathit{x}}_{\mathit{b}}^{2}$-wave superconductor, which can either have vacuum or an insulator at the surface, or be separated from vacuum or an insulator by a clean, size-quantized, normal metal overlayer. These ``midgap'' states have many observable consequences---some of which are briefly discussed here---which can be used as a clear signature to distinguish between d-wave and anisotropic s-wave superconductors.

“…to studying and realizing topological superconductors, with a full gap in the bulk and gapless modes at the edge, there is of course extensive history of work on nodal superconductors and superfluids, where the energy gap closes at points or lines in the BZ (Hu, 1994; Leggett, 1975; Volovik, 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
