# Superconductor-Metal Transition in Odd-Frequency Paired Superconductor in Magnetic Field

## TL;DR

Applying a strong magnetic field to an odd-frequency paired superconductor induces a transition to a metallic state with zero Hall response, providing insights into experimental observations in stripe-ordered cuprates.

## Contribution

This paper demonstrates that magnetic fields can induce a superconductor-metal transition in odd-frequency paired states, linking theory to recent experimental findings.

## Key findings

- Magnetic field induces a metallic state in odd-frequency superconductors.
- The metallic state exhibits zero Hall response.
- Application to stripe-ordered cuprates explains experimental results.

## Abstract

It is shown that the application of sufficiently strong magnetic field to the odd-frequency paired Pair Density Wave state described in Phys. Rev. B 94, 165114 (2016) leads to formation of a low temperature metallic state with zero Hall response. Applications of these ideas to the recent experiments on stripe-ordered La_{1.875}Ba_{0.125}CuO_4 are discussed.
