Anomalous Josephson effect induced by spin-orbit interaction and Zeeman effect in semiconductor nanowires
We investigate theoretically the Josephson junction of semiconductor nanowire with strong spin-orbit (SO) interaction in the presence of magnetic field. By using a tight-binding model, the energy levels En of Andreev bound states are numerically calculated as a function of phase difference φ between two superconductors in the case of short junctions. The dc Josephson current is evaluated from t...
متن کاملMagnetoanisotropic Andreev reflection in ferromagnet-superconductor junctions.
Andreev reflection spectroscopy of ferromagnet-superconductor (FS) junctions [corrected] is an important probe of spin polarization. We theoretically investigate spin-polarized transport in FS junctions in the presence of Rashba and Dresselhaus interfacial spin-orbit fields and show that Andreev reflection can be controlled by changing the magnetization orientation. We predict a giant in- and o...
متن کاملNovel 0–π transitions in Josephson junctions between noncentrosymmetric superconductors∗
We study the Josephson effect between two noncentrosymmetric superconductors (NCSs) with opposite polarization vectors of Rashba spin–orbit coupling (RSOC). We find a 0–π transition driven by the triplet–singlet ratio of NCSs. Different from conventional 0–π transitions, the Andreev bound states change their energy range instead of phase shift in the 0–π transition found here. This novel proper...
متن کاملAnomalous Josephson effect in p-wave dirty junctions.
The Josephson effect in p-wave superconductor/diffusive normal metal/p-wave superconductor junctions is studied theoretically. Amplitudes of Josephson currents are several orders of magnitude larger than those in s-wave junctions. Current-phase (J-phi) relations in low temperatures are close to those in ballistic junctions such as J proportional to sin(phi/2) and J proportional to phi even in t...
متن کاملA proposed experimental diagnosing of specular Andreev reflection using the spin orbit interaction
Based on the Dirac-Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation, we theoretically investigate the chirality-resolved transport properties through a superconducting heterojunction in the presence of both the Rashba spin orbit interaction (RSOI) and the Dresselhaus spin orbit interaction (DSOI). Our results show that, if only the RSOI is present, the chirality-resolved Andreev tunneling conductance can be enhan...
