Abstract

Doped Bi2Se3 is proposed to be a nematic superconductor originating from unusual interorbital pairing. We calculate all induced superconducting pair correlations in Bi2Se3 and discover that intraorbital odd-frequency pairing clearly dominates over a significant range of frequencies. Moreover, we explore the contributions of even- and odd-frequency pairing to the Meissner effect, including separating intra- and interband processes in the response function. Contrary to expectations, and due to interband contributions, we find a diamagnetic Meissner effect from the odd-frequency pairing that stabilizes the superconducting order.
