Abstract
We study the possibility of complex tensor (d-wave) superconducting order in three-dimensional semimetals with chiral spin-1/2 triple-point fermions, which have an effective orbital angular momentum of L=1 arising from a crossing of three bands. Retaining the first three lowest order terms in momentum and assuming rotational symmetry we show that the resulting mean-field d-wave ground state breaks time-reversal symmetry, but then depends crucially on the coefficients of the two quadratic terms in the Hamiltonian. The phase diagram at a finite chemical potential displays both the “cyclic” and the “ferromagnetic” superconducting states, distinguished by the average value of the magnetization; in the former state it is minimal (zero), whereas in the latter it is maximal (two). In both states we find mini Bogoliubov-Fermi surfaces in the quasiparticle spectrum, conforming to recent general arguments.
