Abstract

It was recently shown that conventional phonon-electron interactions may induce a triplet pairing state in time-reversal invariant 3D Dirac semi-metals. Starting from the microscopic model of the isotropic Dirac semi-metal, the Ginzburg-Landau equations for the vector order parameter is derived using the Gorkov technique. The time dependent Ginzburg-Landau model in the presence of external fields is used to investigate some optical and magnetic properties of such superconductors. The AC conductivity of a clean sample depends on the orientation of the order parameter. It is demonstrated that the difference between the penetration depths results in rotation of the polarization vector of microwave passing a slab made of this material. The upper critical magnetic field Hc2 was found. It turns out that at fields close to Hc2 the order parameter orients itself perpendicular to the field direction. In certain range of parameters the triplet superconducting phase persists at arbitrarily high magnetic field like in some p wave superconductors.
