Pairing States of Spin--3/2 Fermions: Symmetry-Enforced Topological Gap Functions

We study the topological properties of superconductors with paired j=3/2 quasiparticles. Higher spin Fermi surfaces can arise, for instance, in strongly spin-orbit coupled band-inverted semimetals. Examples include the Bi-based half-Heusler materials, which have recently been established as low-te...
