We propose a novel experiment to identify the symmetry of superconductivity on the basis of theoretical results for differential conductance of a normal metal connected to a superconductor. The proximity effect from the superconductor modifies the conductance of the remote current depending remarkably on the pairing symmetry: spin singlet or spin triplet. The clear-cut difference in the conductance is explained by symmetry of Cooper pairs in a normal metal with respect to frequency. In the spin-triplet case, the anomalous transport is realized due to an odd-frequency symmetry of Cooper pairs. 相似文献

Josephson current versus potential strength of the interface in ferromagnetic superconductors 下载免费PDF全文
Hamidreza Emamipour 《中国物理 B》2014,(5):541-545
Based on the scattering theory, we calculate the Josephson current in a junction between two ferromagnetic superconductors as a function of the interface potential z. We consider the ferromagnetic superconductor(FS) in three different Cooper pairing states: spin singlet s-wave pairing(SWP) state, spin triplet opposite spin pairing(OSP) state, and spin triplet equal spin pairing(ESP) state. We find that the critical Josephson current as a function of z shows clear differences among the SWP, OSP, and ESP states. The obtained results can be used as a useful tool for determining the pair symmetry of the ferromagnetic superconductors. 相似文献

We review the normal and superconducting state properties of the unconventional triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4 with an emphasis on the analysis of the magnetic susceptibility and the role played by strong electronic correlations. In particular, we show that the magnetic activity arises from the itinerant electrons in the Ru d‐orbitals and a strong magnetic anisotropy occurs (χ+‐ < χzz) due to spin‐orbit coupling. The latter results mainly from different values of the g‐factor for the transverse and longitudinal components of the spin susceptibility (i.e. the matrix elements differ). Most importantly, this anisotropy and the presence of incommensurate antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic fluctuations have strong consequences for the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter. In particular, reviewing spin fluctuation‐induced Cooper‐pairing scenario in application to Sr2RuO4 we show how p‐wave Cooper‐pairing with line nodes between neighboring RuO2‐planes may occur. We also discuss the open issues in Sr2RuO4 like the influence of magnetic and non‐magnetic impurities on the superconducting and normal state of Sr2RuO4. It is clear that the physics of triplet superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is still far from being understood completely and remains to be analyzed more in more detail. It is of interest to apply the theory also to superconductivity in heavy‐fermion systems exhibiting spin fluctuations. 相似文献

Spin triplet, p-wave superfluidity was discovered in 3He a quarter of a century ago, and unconventional spin singlet d-wave superconductivity is now known to exist in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates. An established example of a spin triplet superconductor has still, however, been lacking. In the past few years, evidence suggesting the existence of triplet pairing has been reported in several correlated electron compounds, with perhaps the most consistent picture emerging in the layered perovskite oxide Sr2RuO4. A brief review is given of the recent developments, stressing the important role played by high-quality samples with long mean free paths. 相似文献

The mutual interplay between superconductivity and magnetism in superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures may give rise to unusual proximity effects beyond current knowledge. Especially, spin-triplet Cooper pairs could be created at carefully engineered superconductor/ferromagnet interfaces. Here we report a giant proximity effect on spin dynamics in superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor Josephson junctions. Below the superconducting transition temperature T_C, the ferromagnetic resonance field at X-band(~9.0 GHz) shifts rapidly to a lower field with decreasing temperature. In strong contrast, this phenomenon is absent in ferromagnet/superconductor bilayers and superconductor/insulator/ferromagnet/superconductor multilayers. Such an intriguing phenomenon can not be interpreted by the conventional Meissner effect. Instead, we propose that the strong influence on spin dynamics could be due to spin-transfer torque associated with spin-triplet supercurrents in ferromagnetic Josephson junctions with precessing magnetization. 相似文献

In materials without an inversion center of symmetry the spin
degeneracy of the conducting band is lifted by an antisymmetric
spin orbit coupling (ASOC). Under such circumstances, spin and
parity cannot be separately used to classify the Cooper pairing
states. Consequently, the superconducting order parameter is
generally a mixture of spin singlet and triplet pairing states. In
this paper we investigate the structure of the order parameter and
its response to disorder for the most symmetric pairing state
(A1). Using the example of the heavy Fermion superconductor
CePt3Si, we determine characteristic properties of the
superconducting instability. Depending on the type of the
pairing interaction, the gap function is characterized
by the presence of line nodes. We show that this line nodes move in general
upon temperature.
Such nodes would be essential to explain recent low-temperature
data of thermodynamic quantities such as the NMR-T1
-1,
London penetration depth, and heat conductance.
Moreover, we study the effect of (non-magnetic) impurity on the superconducting state. 相似文献

We study transport in ferromagnetic-superconductor/normal-metal systems. It is shown that charge and spin currents are pumped from ferromagnetic superconductors into adjacent normal metals by adiabatic changes in the order parameters induced by external electromagnetic fields. Spin and charge pumping identify the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, e.g., singlet pairing or triplet pairing with opposite or equal spin pairing. Consequences for ferromagnetic-resonance experiments are discussed. 相似文献

We show that with interface spin-orbit coupling, triplet pairing can occur in the
half-metal/superconductor junction. The tunneling conductance is different from the usual
Andreev reflection and strongly depends on the polarisation orientation. The probability
of triplet pairing for different incident angles and zero-biased conductance are also
calculated. The mechanism for the formation of the triplet pairing is that the interface
spin-orbit coupling provides an effective spin-flip barrier, which couples all the
transport modes in spin Nambu space. Because of its unique particle hole symmetry, this
spin-orbit coupling interface effect is different from the spin-flip ferromagnetic barrier
which induces zero-bias conductance vanishing and finite V-shape
conductance within the energy gap. 相似文献

In this study, we investigate the tunneling conductance at a finite temperature in a normal metal/ferromagnetic superconductor nano-junction where the ferromagnetic superconductor (FS) is in three different cooper pairing states: spin singlet s-wave pairing (SWP), spin triplet opposite spin pairing (OSP), and spin triplet equal spin pairing (ESP) while including Fermiwave mismatch (FWM) and effective mass mismatch (EMM) in two sides of the nano-junction. We find that the conductance shows clearly different behaviors all depending on the symmetries of cooper pairing in a mannerthat the conductance spectra shows a gap-like structure, two interior dipsstructure and zero bias peak for SWP, OSP, and ESP, respectively. Also, theeffective FS gap (δeff) is a linear and decreasing function of exchange field. The slope of (δeff) versus exchange field for OSP is twice the SWP. Thus, we can determine the spin polarization of N/FS nano-junction based on the dependence of (δeff) to exchange field. 相似文献

We study the spin triplet pairing superconducting states of the itinerant Ising model. The spin and spatial symmetries of the states are explored. We find that only a restricted set of spin symmetry states are allowed, while an infinite number of spatial symmetry states exist. The spin triplet pairing states can either be gapless or have finite energy gaps, but all spin triplet pairing states have the sameT

We report on the first observation of a pronounced reentrant superconductivity phenomenon in a superconductor/ferromagnet layered system. The results were obtained using a superconductor/ferromagnetic-alloy bilayer of Nb/Cu(1-x)Ni(x). The superconducting transition temperature T(c) drops sharply with increasing thickness dCuNi) of the ferromagnetic layer, until complete suppression of superconductivity is observed at d(CuNi) approximately equal to 4 nm. Increasing the Cu(1-x)Ni(x) layer thickness further, superconductivity reappears at d(CuNi) > or =13 nm. Our experiments give evidence for the pairing function oscillations associated with a realization of the quasi-one-dimensional Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-like state in the ferromagnetic layer. 相似文献

We report (11)B and (195)Pt NMR measurements in noncentrosymmetric superconductor Li(2)Pt(3)B. We find that the spin susceptibility measured by the Knight shift remains unchanged across the superconducting transition temperature T(c). With decreasing temperature (T) below T(c), the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T(1) decreases with no coherence peak and is in proportion to T3. These results indicate that the Cooper pair is in the spin-triplet state and that there exist line nodes in the superconducting gap function. They are in sharp contrast to those in the isostructural Li(2)Pd(3)B which is a spin-singlet, s-wave superconductor, and are ascribed to the enhanced spin-orbit coupling due to the lack of spatial inversion symmetry. Our finding points to a new paradigm where exotic superconductivity arises in the absence of electron-electron correlations. 相似文献

We report an inelastic neutron scattering investigation on the spin resonance mode in the optimally hole-doped iron-based superconductor Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2 with Tc=38.2 K. Although the resonance is nearly two-dimensional with peak energy ER≈14 meV, it splits into two incommensurate peaks along the longitudinal direction ([H, 0, 0]) and shows an upward dispersion persisting to 26 meV. Such dispersion breaks through the limit of total superconducting gaps ∆tot=|∆k|+|∆k+Q|(about 11-17 meV) on nested Fermi surfaces measured by high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). These results cannot be fully understood by the magnetic exciton scenario under s±-pairing symmetry of superconductivity, and suggest that the spin resonance may not be restricted by the superconducting gaps in the multi-band systems. 相似文献

Spontaneous Josephson spin current in triplet superconductor/ferromagnet/triplet superconductor junctions 下载免费PDF全文
This paper theoretically studies Josephson spin current
through triplet superconductor/ferromagnet/triplet superconductor
junctions. At the ferromagnet/superconductor interfaces, the
ferromagnetic scattering potential gives rise to coupling between
the Andreev bound states and lifts their spin degeneracy. These
spin-split Andreev states carry the Josephson spin current through
the junctions. The generated spin supercurrent can be controlled by
the magnetization of a ferromagnetic thin layer and bias voltage
across the junctions. 相似文献

Quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors are highly unconventional materials, which exhibit a wide variety of phenomena, including spin density waves, quantum Hall effect, and superconductivity. In this paper, we review some experimental and theoretical developments concerning the superconducting state of these systems, where a particular emphasis is placed on the possibility of triplet superconductivity. This possibility is supported by various experiments including upper critical field, Knight shift and NMR relaxation time measurements on the Bechgaard salt bistetramethyltetraselenafulvalene hexafluorophosphate [(TMTSF)2PF6]. However, similar NMR results are still lacking for another compound (TMTSF)2ClO4 and other members of the Bechgaard salts family. Furthermore, the pairing mechanism and order parameter symmetry are not yet fully known. Therefore, we include a discussion of both triplet and singlet pairing states, and analyse briefly the possibility that the symmetries of the superconducting order parameters are different for various compounds. Finally, we also discuss some open questions regarding the superconducting state of these systems. 相似文献

Spin and charge fluctuations and superconductivity in NaxCoO2.yH(2)O are studied based on a multiorbital Hubbard model. Tight-binding parameters are determined to reproduce the results of band calculations. By applying the fluctuation-exchange approximation, we show that the Hund's-rule coupling between the Co t(2g) orbitals causes ferromagnetic (FM) spin fluctuation. Triplet fy((y(2)-3x(2)))-wave and p-wave pairings are favored by this FM fluctuation on the hole-pocket band. We propose that, in NaxCoO2.yH(2)O, the Co t(2g) orbitals and interorbital Hund's-rule coupling play important roles on the triplet pairing, and this compound can be a first example of the triplet superconductor in which the orbital degrees of freedom play substantial roles. 相似文献

We theoretically investigate the spin transport properties of the Cooper pairs in a conventional Josephson junction with Rashba spin-orbit coupling considered in one of the superconducting leads.It is found that an angle-resolved spin supercurrent flows through the junction and a nonzero interfacial spin Hall current driven by the superconducting phase difference also appears at the interface.The physical origin of this is that the Rashba spin-orbit coupling can induce a triplet order parameter in the s-wave superconductor.The interfacial spin Hall current dependences on the system parameters are also discussed. 相似文献
