Abstract
We address the superconducting singlet state of anisotropic Dirac fermions that disperse linearly in one direction and parabolically in the other. For systems that have uniaxial anisotropy, we show that the electromagnetic response to an external magnetic flux is extremely anisotropic near the quantum critical point of the superconducting order. In the quantum critical regime and above a critical magnetic field, we show that the superconductor may form an exotic smectic state, with a stripe pattern of flux domains.
