Properties of Odd Gap Superconductors

Abstract

A new class of superconductors with the gap function {\it odd} under time reversal is considered. Some of the physical properties of these superconductors such as the Meissner effect, composite condensate, gapless spectrum and transition from the {\it odd} gap superconductor to the BCS state at lower temperatures are discussed.
