Spin susceptibility of superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling

چکیده
We show that in some trigonal and hexagonal crystals the Zeeman coupling of band electrons with an external magnetic field is strongly anisotropic necessarily vanishes along main symmetry axis. This leads to qualitative changes temperature dependence electron spin susceptibility superconducting state. In particular, power-law exponents at low temperatures due contribution nodal quasiparticles are considerably modified compared their textbook values.

Spin injection into a superconductor with strong spin-orbit coupling.
We demonstrate spin injection into superconducting Nb by employing a spin absorption technique in lateral spin valve structures. Spin currents flowing in a nonmagnetic Cu channel are preferably absorbed into Nb due to its strong spin-orbit interaction, the amount of which dramatically changes below or above the superconducting critical temperature (TC). The charge imbalance effect observed in t...
متن کاملImpurity-Induced Bound States in Superconductors with Spin-Orbit Coupling.
We study the effect of strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on bound states induced by impurities in superconductors. The presence of SOC breaks the SU(2)-spin symmetry and causes the superconducting order parameter to have generically both singlet (s-wave) and triplet (p-wave) components. We find that in the presence of SOC the spectrum of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states is qualitatively different i...
متن کاملFermi nesting between atomic wires with strong spin-orbit coupling.
The mutual interplay between superlattice structures, band filling factors, and spin-orbit coupling results in a highly correlated electronic spin and charge state found for an array of atomic Pb wires grown on Si(557). By means of spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the spin texture close to the Fermi surface was found to be alternating and equidistant; thus, Fermi nesting occ...
متن کاملUltrathin two-dimensional superconductivity with strong spin-orbit coupling.
We report on a study of epitaxially grown ultrathin Pb films that are only a few atoms thick and have parallel critical magnetic fields much higher than the expected limit set by the interaction of electron spins with a magnetic field, that is, the Clogston-Chandrasekhar limit. The epitaxial thin films are classified as dirty-limit superconductors because their mean-free paths, which are limite...
متن کاملSlater Insulator in Iridate Perovskites with Strong Spin-Orbit Coupling.
The perovskite SrIrO_{3} is an exotic narrow-band metal owing to a confluence of the strengths of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the electron-electron correlations. It has been proposed that topological and magnetic insulating phases can be achieved by tuning the SOC, Hubbard interactions, and/or lattice symmetry. Here, we report that the substitution of nonmagnetic, isovalent Sn^{4+} for Ir...
