Herbut, and Zlatko Tešanović<br/>We consider the energy of the filled quasiparticle’s Fermi sea of a macroscopic superconducting ring threaded by an hc/2e vortex, when the material of the ring is of an unconventional pairing symmetry. The energy relative to the one for the hc/e vortex configuration is finite, positive, and inver...<br/>[Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 187006] Published Fri May 09, 2008 Vladimir Juričić, Igor F.
