Time-reversal symmetry breaking and gapped surface states due to spontaneous emergence of new order in d-wave nanoislands
We solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations self-consistently for the d-wave order parameter in nanoscale d-wave systems with [110] surfaces and show that spontaneous time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking occurs at low temperatures due to a spontaneously induced complex order parameter of extended s...
