Abstract
Domain walls can be formed in superconductors with a discrete degeneracy of the ground state, for instance, due to the breaking of time reversal symmetry. We study all cases where the formation of domain walls is possible in a tetragonal superconductor with the point group D4h. We discuss both triplet and mixed singlet order parameters. It is found that in all cases the domain walls support subgap Andreev bound states, whose energies strongly depend on the direction of semiclassical propagation. The bound state contribution to the density of quasiparticle states exhibits peculiar features, which can be observed in tunneling experiments.
