In the light of the recently discussed mechanism for suppression of superconductivity in multi-orbital systems called inter-orbital effect, here we extend our analysis of the upper critical field in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ now under strain. We show that the presence of the standard orbital effect and the new mechanism can consistently account for the qualitative changes observed in the upper critical field for the strained system, in particular, combining the overall enhancement of the critical field with the reduction in the anisotropy. The proposed picture holds for a triplet superconducting state, showing that a singlet state is not the only possibility to account for the observations. We suggest further experiments in order to clarify our understanding about the superconducting phase of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.
Strain-induced time reversal breaking and half quantum vortices near a putative superconducting tetra-critical point in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$
已经证明[1],许多关于Sr $_2$ RuO $_4$超导态的看似矛盾的实验结果可以解释为在接近环境压力下存在一个假定的四临界点,在该点$d_{x^2-y^2}$和$g_{xy(x^2-y^2)}$超导态是简并的。我们进行了朗道-金兹伯格和微观平均场分析的空间变化的应变对这样的状态的影响。在有限的$xy$剪切应变的存在下,超导态由两个可能的与超导相关的时间反转对称性(TRS)保持态组成:$d \pm g$。然而,在两个这样的区域之间的畴壁处,TRS可以被破坏,导致$d+ig$状态。更一般地说,我们发现,各种自然模式的空间变化的应变诱导各种各样的超导织构,包括半量子fluxoids。这些结果可能解决理论假设与各种实验观测之间的一些明显不一致,包括半量子涡旋的暗示性证据[2]。[1]Steven A Kivelson,Andrew C Yuan,BJ Ramshaw,and Ronny Pennale,“A proposal for conciliating different experiments on the superconducting state in Sr $_2$ RuO $_4$,”npj Quantum Mater 5(2020).

Possibility of mixed helical p-wave pairings in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$
Sr $_2$ RuO $_4$非常规超导电性的确切性质仍然是一个谜。在唯象的层次上,迄今为止还没有一个超导序参量能够解释所有的基本实验特征。后者是突出的极性克尔效应,这意味着非零的交流异常霍尔电导率。假设克尔效应是本征的,它可以解释为体手性库珀配对与非零的轨道角动量,如$p+ip$或$d+id$,然而,有困难的是与其他实验结果相一致。鉴于这种情况,在本文中,我们提出了不同的螺旋p波序参量,即$A_{1u}+iA_{2u}$和$B_{1u}+iB_{2u}$在群论命名复杂的混合物的替代可能性。这些状态基本上由两个手征p波配对的副本组成,具有相反的手征性和不同的配对振幅,因此支持固有的霍尔和克尔效应。我们进一步表明,这些状态表现出显着的特点,可以解释其他几个关键的观察,在这种材料中,包括自发边缘电流的情况下,大量的奈特位移下降,并可能在单轴应变和超声测量签名。
