Figure 1 Figure 1: (a) Crystal structure of SrxBi2Se3, with directions a (blue), a (pink) and c (black) marked. The dopant Sr ion (blue) sits in the van der Waals gap between quintuple layers of Bi (green) and Se (red) ions. (b) The threefold symmetric basal plane. (c) Schematic presentation of themore » two-dimensional ∆4 superconducting gap with respect to a spherical Fermi surface. The ∆4 gap has basis functions (∆4x) with nodes on the mirror plane [depicted in (c)] and (∆4y) with deep minima in the perpendicular direction. This gap breaks the threefold crystal symmetry and gives rise to the nematic state with twofold symmetry.« less
