Abstract
Boundary surfaces of nodal gap superconductors can host Andreev bound states (ABS), which develop a paramagnetic response under external RF field in contrast to the bulk diamagnetic response of the bulk superconductor. At low temperature, this surface paramagnetic response dominates and enhances the nonlinear RF response of the sample. With a recently developed photoresponse imaging technique, the anisotropy of this “paramagnetic” nonlinear Meissner response, and its current direction (angular) and RF power dependence has been systematically studied. A theoretical model describing the current flow in the surface paramagnetic Andreev bound state, the bulk diamagnetic Meissner state, and their response to optical illumination is proposed and it shows good agreement with the experimental results.
