Unconventional superconductivity – Aspects of Symmetry and Topology

Prof. em. Dr. Manfred Sigrist, Professor Emeritus at the Department of Physics


Unconventional superconductivity typically emerges in materials with strong electron correlations, frequently in close proximity of magnetic instabilities. This talks aims to elucidate the main distinctions between conventional and unconventional superconductors. Theoretical considerations underline the pivotal significance of symmetry, offering insights that guide experimental investigation to identify the nature of a superconducting phase. Some further exotic features arise if unconventional superconductors are topologically non-trivial.
