Magnetic response of Majorana Kramers pairs with an order-two symmetry

Abstract

We study an intrinsic relation between the topology of bulk electronic states and magnetic responses of Majorana Kramers pairs, Kramers pairs of Majorana fermions, on a surface of time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors. Majorana Kramers pairs respond to an applied magnetic field anisotropically due to the interplay between time-reversal and crystal symmetries. In this paper, we propose a systematic procedure to determine such surface magnetic responses in systems with an order-two symmetry. From the analysis of topological invariants associated with an order-two symmetry, it is found that magnetic responses are classified into four types, which are attributed to different topological invariants and exhibit distinguishable, characteristic magnetic responses. For a Kramers pair of Majorana fermions protected by ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ topological invariants, we clarify that types of magnetic responses are determined only from Fermi--surface topology and symmetry of Cooper pairs. Finally, we apply our theory to the topological nonsymmorphic crystalline superconducting state in UCoGe, which exhibits a biaxially anisotropic magnetic response.
