Odd-frequency pairing in superconducting heterostructures.
We review the theory of odd-frequency pairing in superconducting heterostructures, where an odd-frequency pairing component is induced near interfaces. A general description of the superconducting proximity effect in a normal metal or a ferromagnet attached to an unconventional superconductor (S) is given within quasiclassical kinetic theory for various types of symmetry state in S. Various pos...
متن کاملEffects due to unconventional pairing in transport through a normal metal- superconductor-normal metal hybrid junction
We explore transport properties of a normal metal-superconductor-normal metal (NSN) junction, where the superconducting region supports mixed singlet and chiral triplet pairings. We show that in the subgapped regime when the chiral triplet pairing amplitude dominates over that of the singlet, a resonance phenomena emerges out where all the quantum mechanical scattering probabilities acquire a v...
متن کاملHeat transport and electron cooling in ballistic normal-metal/spin-filter/superconductor junctions
We investigate electron cooling based on a clean normal-metal/spin-filter/superconductor junction. Due to the suppression of the Andreev reflection by the spin-filter effect, the cooling power of the system is found to be extremely higher than that for conventional normal-metal/nonmagnetic-insulator/superconductor coolers. Therefore we can extract large amount of heat from normal metals. Our re...
متن کاملProximity effect and charging in mesoscopic normal-metal-superconductor junction systems.
Charging effects in mesoscopic junctions suppress the tunneling of electrons. In normal metal superconductor systems they also suppress the proximity effect, thereby revealing the nature of the microscopic processes and of the ground state of the system. The effect can be made visible since the charging and proximity effect and hence the transport properties of the system can be modulated by ga...
متن کاملJosephson effect due to odd-frequency pairs in diffusive half metals.
Motivated by a recent experiment [Keizer et al., Nature (London) 439, 825 (2006)], we study the Josephson effect in superconductor/diffusive half metal/superconductor junctions using the recursive Green function method. The spin-flip scattering at the junction interfaces opens the Josephson channel of the odd-frequency spin-triplet Cooper pairs. As a consequence, the local density of states in ...
