Helical spin texture of surface states in topological superconductors
Surface states of topological noncentrosymmetric superconductors (NCSs) exhibit intricate helical spin textures, i.e., the spin orientation of the surface quasiparticles is coupled to their momentum. Using quasiclassical theory, we study the spin polarization of the surface states as a function of t...
