Abstract

We consider the pairing state due to the usual BCS mechanism in substances of cubic and hexagonal symmetry where the Fermi surface forms pockets around several points of high symmetry. We find that the symmetry imposed on the multiple pocket positions could give rise to a multidimensional nontrivial superconducting order parameter. The time-reversal symmetry in the pairing state is broken. We suggest several candidate substances where such ordering may appear, and discuss means by which such a phase may be identified.
