Time Reversal Symmetry Breaking Non-Centrosymmetric Superconductor LaPtGe and LaIrGe

Abstract: In conventional superconductors gauge symmetry is broken, while in unconventional superconductors other symmetries may also be broken. There has recently been a great deal of interest in noncentrosymmetric superconductors (NCS) due to the complex nature of their superconducting properties. The lack of inversion symmetry in these materials induces an antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling which can lift the degeneracy of the conduction band electrons and may cause the superconducting pair wave function to contain a mixture of singlet-triplet spin states. This mixed pairing can led noncentrosymmetric superconductors to display significantly different properties of that of conventional superconducting systems
