We study electronic properties of a superconducting topological insulator whose parent material is a topological insulator. We calculate the temperature dependence of the specific heat and spin susceptibility for four promising superconducting pairings proposed by L. Fu and E. Berg (Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 097001). Since the line shapes of temperature dependence of specific heat are almost identical among three of the four pairings, it is difficult to identify them simply from the specific heat. On the other hand, we obtain wide varieties of the temperature dependence of spin susceptibility for each pairing reflecting the spin structure of Cooper pair. We propose that the pairing symmetry of superconducting topological insulator can be determined from measurement of Knight shift by changing the direction of applied magnetic field.

We study the surface state of a doped topological crystalline insulator in the superconducting state. Motivated by Sn$_{1-x}$In$_x$Te, we consider fully gapped pair potentials and calculate the surface spectral function. It is found that mirror-prote cted zero-energy Andreev bound states appear at the (001) surface and that these states can move along the mirror symmetric line on the surface Brillouin zone. We also show that the surface Andreev bound state changes systematically with doping due to the presence of the Dirac surface state in the normal state.

Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, the atomic and low energy electronic structure of the Sr-doped superconducting topological insulators (SrxBi2Se3) was studied. Scanning tu nneling microscopy shows that most of the Sr atoms are not in the van der Waals gap. After Sr doping, the Fermi level was found to move further upwards when compared with the parent compound Bi2Se3, which is consistent with the low carrier density in this system. The topological surface state was clearly observed, and the position of the Dirac point was determined in all doped samples. The surface state is well separated from the bulk conduction bands in the momentum space. The persistence of separated topological surface state combined with small Fermi energy makes this superconducting material a very promising candidate for the time reversal invariant topological superconductor

Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy is used to observe changes in the electronic structure of bulk-doped topological insulator Cu$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$ as additional copper atoms are deposited onto the cleaved crystal surface. Carrier density and sur face-normal electrical field strength near the crystal surface are estimated to consider the effect of chemical surface gating on atypical superconducting properties associated with topological insulator order, such as the dynamics of theoretically predicted Majorana Fermion vortices.
We report the experimental and theoretical study on magnetic nature of Bi3Ni system. The structure is found to be orthorhombic (Pnma) with lattice parameters a = 8.879{AA} b = 4.0998{AA} and c = 4.099{AA}. The title compound is synthesized via a soli d state reaction route by quartz vacuum encapsulation of 5N purity stoichiometric ingredients of Ni and Bi. The superconducting transition temperature is found to be 4.1 K as confirmed from magnetization and specific heat measurements. The lower critical field (Hc1) and irreversibility field (Hirr) are around 150 and 3000Oe respectively at 2K. Upper critical field (Hc2) as determined from in field (up to 4 Tesla) ac susceptibility is found to be around 2 Tesla at 2K. The normal state specific heat is fitted using Sommerfeld-Debye equation C(T) = {gamma}T + {beta}T3+{delta}T5 and the parameters obtained are {gamma}= 11.08mJ/mol-K2, {beta}= 3.73mJ/mol-K4 and {delta}= 0.0140mJ/mol-K6. The calculated electronic density of states (DOS) at Fermi level N(EF) and Debye temperature {Theta}D are 4.697 states/eV per formula unit and 127.7K respectively. We also estimated the value of electron phonon coupling constant ({lambda}) to be 1.23, which when substituted in MacMillan equation gives Tc = 4.5K. Density functional (DFT) based calculations for experimentally determined lattice parameters show that Ni in this compound is non-magnetic and ferromagnetic interactions seem to play no role. The Stoner condition I*N(EF) = 0.136 per Ni atom also indicates that system cannot have any ferromagnetism. The fixed spin moment (FSM) calculations by fixing total magnetic moment on the unit cell also suggested that this system does not exhibit any signatures of ferromagnetism.

We have performed temperature (T) - dependent laser-photoemission spectroscopy of antiferromagnetic (AF) superconductor ErNi2B2C to study the electronic-structure evolution reflecting the interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. Th e spectra at the superconducting (SC) phase show a very broad spectral shape. T-dependent SC gap shows a sudden deviation from the BCS prediction just below TN. This observation can be well explained by the theoretical model and thus represents characteristic bulk electronic structure of the AF SC phase for the first time.
