The inner layers of a neutron star crust, composed of a Coulomb lattice of neutron rich nuclear clusters immersed in a sea of "free" superfluid neutrons, are closely analogous to periodic condensed matter systems such as electronic, photonic or phononic crystals. Applying methods from solid state ph
We perform a detailed calculation of the pairing properties of the inner crust of a neutron star. We focus on a specific density, and take into account the coexistence of a nuclear lattice with a superfluid gas of neutrons. The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations are solved adding the matrix el
