Triplet pairing due to spin-orbit-assisted electron-phonon coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a microscopic mechanism for spin-dependent attraction in a metal leading to triplet pairing, which is caused by spin-orbit-assisted coupling between electrons and optical phonons in crystals with complex unit cells. Using two examples of crystals with either a cubic or a layered square lattice, we show that spin-orbit-assisted electron-phonon coupling generates triplet pairing with uniquely predetermined tensor structure of the p-wave order parameter.

It is a common knowledge that the formation of electron pairs is a necessary ingredient of any theoretical work describing superconductivity. Thus, finding the mechanism of the formation of the electron pairs is of utmost importance. There are some experiments on high transition temperature superconductors which support the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions as the pairing mechanism (ARPES),...
متن کاملSpin relaxation in lateral quantum dots: Effects of spin-orbit interaction
We report results of calculations of the effect of spin-orbit interaction on electron spin relaxation in a lateral quantum dot. Our study is motivated by puzzling results of high source-drain transport measurements of singlet-triplet transitions of two electrons in lateral and vertical devices that show a strong asymmetry as a function of the applied magnetic field. Using exact diagonalization ...
متن کاملSpin-orbit-assisted electron-phonon interaction and the magnetophonon resonance in semiconductor quantum wells
We introduce a spin-orbit assisted electron-phonon e-ph coupling mechanism for carriers in semiconductor quantum wells and predict qualitatively the form and shape of anticrossings between the cyclotron resonance CR and optical LO and TO phonons. Since this e-ph interaction involves the electron spin it makes the predicted TO-CR anticrossing dependent on the filling factor and therefore on the ...
متن کاملSpin hot spots in single - electron GaAs - based quantum dots
Spin relaxation of a single electron in a weakly coupled double quantum dot is calculated numerically. The phonon-assisted spin flip is allowed by the presence of the linear and cubic spin– orbit couplings and nuclear spins. The rate is calculated as a function of the interdot coupling, the magnetic field strength and orientation, and the dot bias. In an in-plane magnetic field, the rate is str...
متن کاملThe role of spin - orbit coupling for the superconducting state in Sr 2 RuO 4
– The odd-parity spin-triplet Cooper pairing states show a six-fold degeneracy for a quasi-two-dimensional electron system. In this article we show how spin-orbit coupling can lift this degeneracy for Sr2RuO4 taking the band structure based on the three relevant t2gorbitals of the Ru-ions into account. The stabilized state depends on the relative strength of the pairing interaction. We show tha...
