CMT Seminar - Arun Paramekanti (University of Toronto) "Pseudo-Landau levels in stained nodal superconductors"

CMT Seminar
September 18, 2017
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
1080 Robert Smith Seminar Room

Theory and experiments on graphene have shown that strain can be tailored to induce pseudo-vector potentials and pseudo-magnetic fields as large as 300 Telsa for the low energy Dirac fermions.  Motivated by this, and related theoretical work on other Dirac systems, we consider the impact of strain on nodal d-wave superconductors.  We theoretically shown that suitable inhomogeneous strain fields can lead to pseudo-Landau levels for the Bogoliubov quasiparticles, with detectible signatures in STM experiments and possibly THz spectroscopy
