Josephson effect test for triplet pairing symmetry

چکیده
The critical current modulation and the spontaneous flux of the vortex states in corner Josephson junctions between Sr2RuO4 and a conventional s-wave superconductor are calculated as a function of the crystal orientation, and the magnetic field. For Sr2RuO4 we assume two nodeless p-wave pairing states. Also we use the nodal f -wave states B1g × Eu and B2g × Eu, and one special p-wave state having line nodes. It is seen that the critical current depends solely on the topology of the gap.

Quasiclassical Green’s function theory of the Josephson effect in chiral p-wave superconductor/diffusive normal metal/chiral p-wave superconductor junctions
We study the Josephson effect in chiral p-wave superconductor/diffusive normal metal DN /chiral p-wave superconductor CP/DN/CP junctions using quasiclassical Green’s function formalism with proper boundary conditions. The px+ ipy-wave symmetry of superconducting order parameter is chosen which is believed to be the pairing state in Sr2RuO4. We show that the superconducting pair amplitude induce...

In this paper, the density of states (DOS) of a planar d-wave Josephson junction is studied analytically. Two high temperature superconductors are separated by an interface with finite transparency coefficient. The c-axes are parallel to the interface and ab-axes have a mis-orientation. The tunneling occurs via the interface because of phase difference between superconducting bulks. The effec...

We examine a Josephson junction involving two arbitrary equal-spin-pairing unitary triplet superconductors and a ferromagnetic tunneling barrier. Using perturbation theory, we show how the interaction of the barrier moment with the spin of the tunneling triplet Cooper pairs can reverse the sign of the Josephson charge current. This also results in a Josephson spin current, which contains a phas...
متن کاملFunctional superconductor interfaces from broken time-reversal symmetry.
The breaking of time-reversal symmetry in a triplet superconductor Josephson junction is shown to cause a magnetic instability of the tunneling barrier. Using a Ginzburg-Landau analysis of the free energy, we predict that this novel functional behavior reflects the formation of an exotic Josephson state, distinguished by the existence of fractional flux quanta at the barrier. The crucial role o...

We present the numerical solutions for the I − V characteristics, and describe the motion of fluxons in a frustrated Josephson junction made of an unconventional triplet superconductor and an s-wave superconductor. In the inline geometry, and long length limit the moving integer fluxon interacts with the bound fractional fluxon but is not able to change its position or polarity. We observe diff...
