Coexistence of Even- and Odd-Frequency Superconductivities Under Broken
Time-Reversal Symmetry
   [PDF]

Masashige Matsumoto, Mikito Koga, Hiroaki Kusunose
A novel superconducting state under the broken time-reversal symmetry is studied in conventional phonon-mediated superconductors. By solving the Eliashberg equation self-consistently with the mass renormalization effect, it is found that the even- and odd-frequency components of the order parameter coexist in the bulk system as a consequence of the broken time-reversal symmetry. This finding would direct more attention to the odd-frequency pairing that affects physical quantities, especially in strong coupling superconductors.
