Josephson effect between conventional and non-centrosymmetric superconductors

Hayashi, Nobuhiko; Iniotakis, C.*; Machida, Masahiko; Sigrist, M.*

Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, 69(12), p.3225 - 3227, 2008/12

We analyze the Josephson effect between a conventional superconductor (SC) and a non-centrosymmetric SC with the purpose to identify qualitative features originating form the pairing symmetry of the latter. As a concrete example, we consider the non-centrosymmetric SC CePt$$_3$$Si where Rashba spin-orbit coupling plays a crucial role and affects the Josephson pair tunneling. We find that the Josephson coupling is composed of two parts, a spin-singlet-like component and a spin-triplet-like one. The triplet-like component can lead to a Josephson coupling that is shifted by $$ pi $$ relative to the singlet-like coupling. This has important implications on the interference effects and may explain some recent experimental results for the Al/CePt$$_3$$Si junction.

Josephson effect between conventional and Rashba superconductors

Hayashi, Nobuhiko; Iniotakis, C.*; Machida, Masahiko; Sigrist, M.*

We study the Josephson effect between a conventional $$s$$-wave superconductor and a non-centrosymmetric superconductor with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Rashba spin-orbit coupling affects the Josephson pair tunneling in a characteristic way. The Josephson coupling can be decomposed into two parts, a "spin-singlet-like" and a "spin-triplet-like" component. The latter component can lead to shift of the Josephson phase by $$pi$$ relative to the former coupling. This has important implications on interference effects and may explain some recent experimental results for the Al/CePt$$_3$$Si junction.

Andreev bound states and tunneling characteristics of a noncentrosymmetric superconductor

The tunneling characteristics of planar junctions between a normal metal and a noncentrosymmetric superconductor such as CePt$$_3$$Si are examined. It is shown that the superconducting phase with mixed parity can give rise to characteristic zero-bias anomalies in certain junction directions. Andreev bound states at the interface are the origin of these zero-bias anomalies. The tunneling characteristics for different directions allow us to test the structure of the parity-mixed pairing state.

We analyze the Josephson current between a conventional superconductor (SC) and a noncentrosymmetric SC with the purpose to identify qualitative features originating form the pairing symmetry of the latter. As a concrete example, we consider the non-centrosymmetric SC CePt$$_3$$Si where Rashba spin-orbit coupling plays a crucial role and affects the Josephson pair tunneling. We find that the Josephson coupling is composed of two parts, a spin-singlet-like component and a spintriplet-like one. The triplet-like component can lead to a Josephson coupling that is shifted by $$pi$$ relative to the singlet-like coupling. This has important implications on the interference effects and may explain some recent experimental results for the Al/CePt$$_3$$Si junction.
