Chiral Glass: A New Equilibrium Phase of Ceramic High-<i><i>T</i></i><sub><b><i>c</i></b></sub>Superconductors

Possible occurrence of an equilibrium thermodynamic phase with a spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry is studied in a model ceramic superconductor with anisotropic pairing symmetry. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulations that such a “chiral-glass” phase is truly stable even under the influence of screening. Existence of frustration in zero …
