Josephson effect test for triplet pairing symmetry

الأصل · EN

The critical current modulation and the spontaneous flux of the vortex states in corner Josephson junctions between Sr₂RuO₄ and a conventional s-wave superconductor are calculated as a function of the crystal orientation, and the magnetic field. For Sr₂RuO₄ we assume two nodeless p-wave pairing states. Also we use the nodal f-wave states B₁g× Eᵤ and B₂g × Eᵤ, and one special p-wave state having line nodes. It is seen that the critical current depends solely on the topology of the gap.
