A method for constructing the low energy effective models for pairings in the generalized Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model for materials like Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ is proposed. Pairings in this two-orbital model are identified with those familiar in one-orbital models, enabling a unified understanding. The theory provides an easy way to understand the topological nature of the superconducting state that is not directly related to the topological order in the normal state but due to subtle coupling among the degrees of freedom. Furthermore this approach shows a simple way to characterize the anisotropic nature of surface Andreev bound states (SABSs). In particular, we have identified the conditions to have a surprising new result of having two pairs of SABSs. It also leads to a conclusion that SABSs always connect with the topological surface states if the latter are well defined at the chemical potential.

We study the effects of electron correlations on the topological phase transition in the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model using the variational cluster approach where the short-range spatial correlations are taken into account exactly. We calculate the sp
in Chern number and local magnetic moment to show that the topologically nontrivial antiferromagnetic order exists and that the magnetic transition is of the second order. We furthermore demonstrate that under the spin-quantized condition the topological phase transition is caused by the closing of the bulk band gap.
The energy spectrum of cake shape normal - superconducting systems is calculated by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation. We take into account the mismatch in the effective masses and Fermi energies of the normal and superconducting regions as w
ell as the potential barrier at the interface. In the case of a perfect interface and without mismatch, the energy levels are treated by semi-classics. Analytical expressions for the density of states and its integral, the step function, are derived and compared with that obtained from exact numerics. We find a very good agreement between the two calculations. It is shown that the spectrum possesses an energy gap and the density of states is singular at the edge of the gap. The effect of the mismatch and the potential barrier on the gap is also investigated.
We report anomalous enhancement of the critical current at low temperatures in gate-tunable Josephson junctions made from topological insulator BiSbTeSe$_2$ nanoribbons with superconducting Nb electrodes. In contrast to conventional junctions, as a f
unction of the decreasing temperature $T$, the increasing critical current $I_c$ exhibits a sharp upturn at a temperature $T_*$ around 20$%$ of the junction critical temperatures for several different samples and various gate voltages. The $I_c$ vs. $T$ demonstrates a short junction behavior for $T>T_*$, but crosses over to a long junction behavior for $T<T_*$ with an exponential $T$-dependence $I_c propto expbig(-k_B T/delta big)$, where $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant. The extracted characteristic energy-scale $delta$ is found to be an order of magnitude smaller than the induced superconducting gap of the junction. We attribute the long-junction behavior with such a small $delta$ to low-energy Andreev bound states (ABS) arising from winding of the electronic wavefunction around the circumference of the topological insulator nanoribbon (TINR). Our TINR-based Josephson junctions with low-energy ABS are promising for future topologically protected devices that may host exotic phenomena such as Majorana fermions.
High resolution measurements of the specific heat of liquid $^{3}$He in the presence of a silver surface have been performed at temperatures near the superfluid transition in the pressure range of 1 to 29 bar. The surface contribution to the heat cap
acity is identified with Andreev bound states of $^{3}$He quasiparticles that have a range of half a coherence length.
We calcuate electronic spin susceptibility and spin-lattice relaxation rate in singlet superconductor near a pairbreaking surface, or in a domain wall of the order parameter. We directly link presence of high-density Andreev bound states in the inhom
ogeneous region, combined with coherence factors, to enhancement of the susceptibility above the normal states value for certain $bf q$ vectors. Beside the dominant peak at ferromagnetic vector $q=0$, we find significant enhancement of antiferromagnetic correlations at vectors $qlesssim 2 k_f$, with $bf q$ $along$ the domain wall in $S$-wave superconductor, and $across$ domain wall in $D$-wave (nodes along the wall). These features are destroyed by applying moderate Zeeman field that splits the zero-energy peak. We solve Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations in momentum space and our results deviate from the lattice models investigated previously. Large enhancement of the spin-lattice relaxation rate $T_1^{-1}$ at the domain wall provides clear signature of the quasiparticle bound states, and is in good agreement with recent experiment in organic superconductor $kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$.
