Abstract The superconductors can have a Fermi surface even below the transition temperature, which is known as the Bogoliubov Fermi surface. Focusing on the degrees of freedom at low energies, which are described by the spinless Bogoliubov particles for the case without time-reversal symmetry, we consider the self-energy from the impurity scattering on the Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. The physical quantities such as the density of states are evaluated based on the single-particle Green’s functions. We systematically compare these results with those of the conventional s-wave spin-singlet pairing state, to illuminate the characteristic features of the Bogoliubov particles located at the Fermi level.
We theoretically investigate the evolution and instability of the Bogoliubov Fermi surface (BFS) in the spherical
j=3/2 model under a Zeeman field. The applied field induces a pronounced expansion in the BFS with
jz=±3/2 component. Such behavior can be detected by spectroscopic techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Interestingly, the Pauli susceptibility exhibits behavior that appears discontinuous just below the transition temperature at zero field, even though it is a second-order transition. This is due to spontaneous magnetization. Furthermore, the analysis of the bogolon correlations in the superconducting phase suggests the possibility of the chiral
p- or
f-wave bogolon pairing instabilities rather than the Pomeranchuk instability. These chiral states coexist with the chiral
d-wave superconducting state, spontaneously break inversion symmetry, and lead to the disappearance of the torus-shaped BFS structure.
