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 inhomogeneous 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)$_2$.

As charge carriers traverse a single superconductor ferromagnet interface they experience an additional spin-dependent phase angle which results in spin mixing and the formation of a bound state called the Andreev Bound State. This state is an essent
ial component in the generation of long range spin triplet proximity induced superconductivity and yet the factors controlling the degree of spin mixing and the formation of the bound state remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that point contact Andreev reflection can be used to detect the bound state and extract the resulting spin mixing angle. By examining spectra taken from La1.15Sr1.85Mn2O7 single crystal - Pb junctions, together with a compilation of literature data on highly spin polarised systems, we show that the existence of the Andreev Bound State both resolves a number of long standing controversies in the Andreev literature as well as defining a route to quantify the strength of spin mixing at superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces. Intriguingly we find that for these high transparency junctions, the spin mixing angle appears to take a relatively narrow range of values across all the samples studied. The ferromagnets we have chosen to study share a common property in terms of their spin arrangement, and our observations may point to the importance of this property in determining the spin mixing angle under these circumstances.
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.
Andreev bound states at boundaries of d-wave superconductors are strongly influenced by the boundary geometry itself. In this work, the zero-energy spectral weight of the local quasiparticle density of states is presented for the case of wedge-shaped
boundaries with rounded corners. Generally, both orientation of the d-wave and the specific local reflection properties of the rounded wedges determine, whether Andreev bound states exist or not. For the bisecting line of the wedge being parallel to the nodal direction of the d-wave gap function, strong zero-energy Andreev bound states are expected at the round part of the boundary.
The theory of Andreev conductance is formulated for junctions involving normal metals (N) and multiband superconductors (S) and applied to the case of superconductors with nodeless extended $s_{pm}$-wave order parameter symmetry, as possibly realized
in the recently discovered ferro pnictides. We find qualitative differences from tunneling into s-wave or d-wave superconductors that may help to identify such a state. First, interband interference leads to a suppression of Andreev reflection in the case of a highly transparent N/S interface and to a current deficit in the tunneling regime. Second, surface bound states may appear, both at zero and at non-zero energies. These effects do not occur in multiband superconductors without interband sign reversal, though the interference can still strongly modify the conductance spectra.
Electrons in a Dirac semimetals possess linear dispersion in all three spatial dimensions, and form part of a developing platform of novel quantum materials. Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$ supports a three-dimensional Dirac cone at the Sb-induced band inversion po
int. Nanoscale phase-sensitive junction technology is used to induce superconductivity in this Dirac semimetal. Radio frequency irradiation experiments reveal a significant contribution of 4$pi$-periodic Andreev bound states to the supercurrent in Nb-Bi$_{0.97}$Sb$_{0.03}$-Nb Josephson junctions. The conditions for a substantial $4pi$ contribution to the supercurrent are favourable because of the Dirac cones topological protection against backscattering, providing very broad transmission resonances. The large g-factor of the Zeeman effect from a magnetic field applied in the plane of the junction, allows tuning of the Josephson junctions from 0 to $pi$ regimes.
