摘要:

在断裂的时间反演对称外尔半金属中,外尔节点的分离导致外尔节点处的螺旋准粒子激发,当与整体自旋守恒耦合时,仅允许外尔半金属与超导体的结处的结间输运。这导致约瑟夫森电流作为$k_0L$的函数的不寻常的周期振荡,其中$L$是外尔半金属的长度,而$2k_0$是节间距离。这种振荡是鲁棒的,应该是实验上可测量的,提供了一个直接的路径,以确认手性节点的存在外尔半金属。

英文摘要:

The separation of the Weyl nodes in a broken time-reversal symmetric Weyl semimetal leads to helical quasi-particle excitations at the Weyl nodes, which, when coupled with overall spin conservation allows only inter-nodal transport at the junction of the Weyl semimetal with a superconductor. This leads to an unusual periodic oscillation in the Josephson current as a function of $k_0L$, where $L$ is the length of the Weyl semimetal and $2k_0$ is the inter-nodal distance. This oscillation is robust and should be experimentally measurable, providing a direct path to confirming the existence of chiral nodes in the Weyl semimetal.
