Spin-Orbit Locking as a Protection Mechanism of the Odd-Parity Superconducting State against Disorder

Unconventional superconductors host a plethora of interesting physical phenomena. However, the standard theory of superconductors suggests that unconventional pairing is highly sensitive to disorder, and hence can only be observed in ultraclean systems. We find that due to an emergent chiral symmetr...
