Time reversal symmetry breaking states at the surface of Cuprate superconductors

It is known that, in cuprate superconductors, a subdominant order parameter can coexist with the dominant d-wave one close to vortices, impurities and boundaries. This subdominant order parameter, together with the dominant one, is responsable for the generation of Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking (T...
