superconducting order parameter ϕ (r ⃗, r ⃗′) varies periodically as a function of position …

Topologically stable gapless phases of time-reversal-invariant superconductors

B Béri - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2010 - APS
We show that time-reversal invariant superconductors in d= 2 (d= 3) dimensions can support
topologically stable Fermi points (lines), characterized by an integer topological charge …
