Abstract

Type-II Dirac semimetals exhibit a unique Fermi surface topology, which allows them to host novel topological superconductivity (TSC). We reveal a novel inter-orbital superconducting state, corresponding to the B_1u and B_2u pairings under the D_4h point group. Intriguingly, we find that both first- and second-order TSC coexist in this novel state. It is induced by a dominant inter-orbital attraction and possesses surface helical Majorana cones and hinge Majorana flat bands, spanning the entire z-directed hinge Brillouin zone. Further investigation uncovers that these higher-order hinge modes are robust against the C_4z symmetry-breaking perturbation.

II 型狄拉克半金属中的铰链马约拉纳平带

第二类狄拉克半金属表现出独特的费米面拓扑结构，这使它们能够承载新型拓扑超导（TSC）。我们揭示了一种新的轨道间超导态，与 D4h 点群下的 B1u 和 B2u 配对相对应。有趣的是，我们发现一阶和二阶 TSC 同时存在于这种新状态中。它是由占主导地位的轨道间吸引力诱导的，具有表面螺旋马约拉纳锥和铰链马约拉纳平带，横跨整个 z 向铰链布里渊区。进一步的研究发现，这些高阶铰链模式对 C4z 对称性破坏扰动具有稳健性。
