The physics of the π phase shift in ferromagnetic
Josephson junctions may enable a range of applications for
spin-electronic devices and quantum computing. We investigate
transitions from “0” to “π” states in Nb/Fe/Nb Josephson
junctions by varying the Fe barrier thickness from 0.5 nm to 5.5 nm. From magnetic measurements we estimate for Fe a magnetic
dead
layer of about 1.1 nm. By fitting the characteristic voltage
oscillations with existing theoretical models we extrapolate an
exchange energy of 256 meV, a Fermi velocity of 1.98 ×105
m/s and an electron mean free path of 6.2 nm, in agreement with
other reported values. From the temperature dependence of the
ICRN product we show that its decay rate exhibits a nonmonotonic
oscillatory behavior with the Fe barrier thickness. 相似文献

A quantitative theory of the Josephson effect in SFIFS junctions (S denotes bulk superconductor, F is metallic ferromagnet, and I is insulating barrier) is presented in the dirty limit. A fully self-consistent numerical procedure is employed to solve the Usadel equations for arbitrary values of the F-layer thicknesses, magnetizations, and interface parameters. In the case of antiparallel ferromagnet magnetizations, the effect of critical current I c enhancement by the exchange energy H is observed, while in the case of parallel magnetizations the junction exhibits a transition to the π state. In the limit of thin F layers, we study these peculiarities of the critical current analytically and explain them qualitatively; the scenario of the 0-πtransition in our case differs from those studied before. The effect of switching between 0 and π states by changing the mutual orientation of F layers is demonstrated. 相似文献

The critical current J
c(θ) of an intergrain boundary is calculated as a function of the contact misorientation angle θ of the granules. It is assumed that the ordering parameter is suppressed in regions near boundaries with an enhanced mechanical
stress induced by randomly distributed surface dislocations. The stress distribution function is determined using a probabilistic
approach. Assuming that the weak coupling at the boundary is Josephson coupling, an analytic expression is found for the angular
dependence J
c(θ) (for tilt and twist boundaries). The magnitude of the residual critical current of a boundary in a strong magnetic field
is estimated.

The Meissner state of a 3D Josephson medium is analyzed for stability against small fluctuations of phase discontinuities
at contacts. For any form of fluctuations, there exists value I
0 of pinning parameter I such that the Meissner configuration remains stable if I < I
0. Reasons why the configuration remains stable at small I are considered. Instability arises when the quadratic form of the second variation of Gibbs potential G is not a positively definite quantity. At small I, the contribution of the Josephson energy to G is small. The second variation of the magnetic energy, the other component of G, is always a positively definite quadratic form. Therefore, instability may arise only if I has a finite value. This statement holds true not only for the Meissner but also for any equilibrium configuration. At I < I
0, stability persists up to the boundary of the Meissner state. Then, a sequence of plane vortices parallel to the boundary
appears throughout the sample. Thus, vortices appearing at I < I
0 are plane vortices rather than linear. The configurations of currents and the magnetic field profile inside the sample are
calculated for I < I
0. Calculation is based on analyzing the continuous variation of the current configuration toward a decrease in the Gibbs potential. 相似文献

We analyze the production of φ mesons in πN and NN reactions in the near-threshold region, using throughout the conventional “non-strange” dynamics based on such processes
which are allowed by the non-ideal ω-φ mixing. We show that the occurrence of the direct φNN interaction may show up in different unpolarized and polarization observables in πN→Nφ reactions. We find a strong non-trivial difference between observables in the reactions pp→ppφ and pn→pnφ caused by the different role of the spin singlet and triplet states in the entrance channel. A series of predictions for
the experimental study of this effect is presented.

We study the critical temperature T

of SFF trilayers (S is a singlet superconductor, F is a ferromagnetic metal), where the long-range triplet superconducting
component is generated at noncollinear magnetizations of the F layers. We demonstrate that T
c
can be a nonmonotonic function of the angle α between the magnetizations of the two F layers. The minimum is achieved at
an intermediate α, lying between the parallel (P, α = 0) and antiparallel (AP, α = π) cases. This implies a possibility of
a “triplet” spin-valve effect: at temperatures above the minimum T

The question of the dimensionality of superconductivity is considered within the framework of a model of superconductivity
via asymmetric, delocalized “crystalline” π orbitals (analogous to the corresponding molecular orbitals) extending along chains of covalently bonded copper and oxygen
ions. It is shown that superconductivity is preceded by a separation of the bonds in the CuO2 layer into covalent and ionic bonds with ordering of the covalent bonds into chains. Such an ordering facilitates the formation
of a crystalline π orbital lowering the crystal energy by the resonance energy of the π bond and is therefore favored. The superconducting current is created by non-dissipative motion of π-electron pairs along the asymmetric, “crystalline” π orbitals extending along chains of covalently bonded copper and oxygen ions, in the presence of an ionic bond between neighboring
chains extending through the easily polarizable O2− ions. This ionic bond correlates the motion of the electron pairs along all the π orbitals and stabilizes the superconducting state. Only in this sense is the apparent “onedimensionality” of superconductivity
in cuprate superconductors to be understood.

The ω resonance production and its π0γ decay in pA reactions close to threshold is considered within the Intranuclear Cascade (INC) model. The π0γ invariant-mass distribution shows two components which correspond to the ω decay “inside” and “outside” the nucleus, respectively.
The “inside” component is distorted by medium effects, which introduce a mass shift as well as collisional broadening for
the ω-meson and its decaying pion. The relative contribution of the “inside” component is analyzed in detail for different
kinematical conditions and nuclear targets. It is demonstrated that a measurement of the correlation in azimuthal angle between
the π0 and γ momenta allows to separate events related to the “inside”ω decay from different sources of background when uncorrelated
π0's and γ's are produced.

The Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation and Nambu spinor Green's
function approach are applied to studying the Josephson current in
superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor (S/F/S) Josephson
junctions in the clean limit. It is found that the critical
current exhibits a damped oscillation with the F thickness d,
the oscillation period equal to 2πξF with ξF the
coherence length of the F. The change of the critical current from
positive to negative is determined by factor cosφ′
with φ′=d/ξF as the F-induced phase difference.
The exponent decay of the critical current is close related to
that of the superconductor order parameter in the F, both of them
having the same decay length. 相似文献

Data for φ→γ(ηπ0) are analysed using the KK loop model and compared with parameters of a0(980) derived from Crystal Barrel data. The ηπ mass spectrum agrees closely and the absolute normalisation lies just within
errors. However, BES parameters for f0(980) predict a normalisation for φ→γ(π0π0) at least a factor 2 lower than is observed. This discrepancy may be eliminated by including constructive interference between
f0(980) and σ. The magnitude required for σ→KK is consistent with data on ππ→KK. A dispersion relation analysis by Büttiker,
Descotes-Genon and Moussallam of ππ→KK leads to a similar conclusion. Data on ππ→ηη also require decays of σ to ηη. Four sets
of ππ→KK data all require a small but definite f0(1370) signal.

The Josephson current through an Aharonov-Bohm (AB)
interferometer, in which a quantum dot (QD) is situated on one arm
and a magnetic flux Φ threads through the ring, has been
investigated. In the presence of the magnetic flux, the relation
between the Josephson current and the superconductor phase is
complex, and the system can be adjusted to π junction by either
modulating the magnetic flux or the QD’s energy level
εd. Due to the electron-hole symmetry, the Josephson
current I has the property
I(εd,Φ)=I(-εd,Φ+π). The Josephson
current exhibits a jump when a pair of Andreev bound states aligns
with the Fermi energy. The condition for the current jump is given.
Particularly, we find that the position of the current jump and the
position of the maximum value of the critical current Ic are
identical. Due to the interference between the two paths, the
critical current Ic versus the QD’s level εd shows a
typical Fano shape, which is similar to the Fano effect in the
corresponding normal device. However they also show some
differences. For example, the critical current never reaches zero
for any parameters, while the current in the normal device can reach
zero at the destruction point. 相似文献

The current configurations and the profile of the magnetic field penetrating into a 3D ordered Josephson medium are calculated
for I < I
C
. The calculation algorithm (modified for finite-length samples) is based on analyzing the continuous variation of the configuration
toward a decrease in the Gibbs potential. This algorithm makes it possible to find a configuration into which the Meissner
state passes when I < I
C
and an external field slightly exceeds H
max and trace the evolution of this configuration with a further rise in the field. At H > H
max, the magnetic field penetrates into the sample as a quasi-uniform sequence of plane vortices. When H is roughly equal to H
0/2, where H
0 is the outer field at which one fluxoid Φ0 passes through each cell, the plane vortices disintegrate into linear ones centered in cells neighboring along the diagonal.
As the field grows, the vortex pattern condenses: zero-fluxoid cells are gradually “filled” starting from the boundary. When
the field approaches H
0, a sequence of plane vortices centered in adjacent rows arises near the boundary. With a further increase in the field, sequences
of linear vortices with a double fluxoid form at the boundary. Then, such a scenario is periodically repeated with a period
H
0 in the external field. 相似文献

The correlations of the linear and circular polarizations in the system of two photons have been theoretically investigated.

0 → 2γ and the cascade process |0〉 → |1〉 + γ → |0〉 + 2γ(|0〉 and |1〉 are states with the spin 0 and 1, respectively) the final
two-photon state represents a characteristic example of the entangled (nonfactorizable) state, and the correlations between
the Stokes parameters in all these decays have the purely quantum character: the incoherence inequalities of the Bell type
for the components of the correlation “tensor”, established previously for the case of classical “mixtures”, are violated.
The general analysis of the registration procedure for two correlated photons by two one-photon detectors is performed. 相似文献

Arguments coming from Quantum Field Theory are supplemented with a 1-loop perturbative calculation to settle the non-unitarity
of mixing matrices linking renormalized mass eigenstates to bare flavor states for non-degenerate coupled fermions. We simultaneously
diagonalize the kinetic and mass terms and counterterms in the renormalized Lagrangian. SU(2)

gauge invariance constrains the mixing matrix in charged currents of renormalized mass states, for example the Cabibbo matrix,
to stay unitary. Leaving aside CP violation, we observe that the mixing angles exhibit, within experimental uncertainty, a very simple breaking pattern of

horizontal symmetry linked to the algebra of weak neutral currents, the origin of which presumably lies beyond the Standard
Model. It concerns on the one hand the three quark mixing angles; on the other hand a neutrino-like pattern in which θ

We present a study on low-Tc superconductor-insulator-ferromagnet-superconductor (SIFS) Josephson junctions. SIFS junctions have gained considerable interest
in recent years because they show a number of interesting properties for future classical and quantum computing devices. We
optimized the fabrication process of these junctions to achieve a homogeneous current transport, ending up with high-quality
samples. Depending on the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer and on temperature, the SIFS junctions are in the ground state
with a phase drop of either 0 or π. By using a ferromagnetic layer with variable step-like thickness along the junction, we
obtained a so-called 0–π Josephson junction, in which 0 and π ground states compete with each other. At a certain temperature
the 0 and π parts of the junction are perfectly symmetric, i.e. the absolute critical current densities are equal. In this
case the degenerate ground state corresponds to a vortex of supercurrent circulating clock- or counterclockwise and creating
a magnetic flux which carries a fraction of the magnetic flux quantum Φ0.

In this paper, we present results of a feasibility study of a model-independent way to measure the angle φ3 of the unitarity triangle. The method involves B±→DK± decays where the neutral D decays to the K0
Sπ+π- final state, together with the sample of decays of CP-tagged D mesons (produced, e.g. in ψ(3770)→DD̄ process) to the same
final state. We consider different approaches to the extraction of φ3 and obtain the expected statistical accuracy of the φ3 measurement as a function of B and DCP statistics.
