Multiband effects in hybrid structures provide a rich playground for unconventional superconductivity. We combine two complementary approaches based on density-functional theory (DFT) and effective low-energy model theory in order to investigate the proximity effect in a Rashba surface state in contact with an s-wave superconductor. We discuss these synergistic approaches and combine the effective model and DFT analysis at the example of a Au/Al heterostructure.
Abstract We show that Cooper pairing can occur intrinsically away from the Fermi surface in j=3/2 superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling and equally curved bands in the normal state. In contrast to conventional pairing between spin-1/2 electrons, we derive that pairing can happen between interband electrons having different magnetic quantum numbers, for instance, mj=1/2 and mj=3/2.
