拓扑超导体的自发约瑟夫森$π$结

Spontaneous Josephson $π$ Junctions with Topological Superconductors

Arbel Haim

摘要:

我们研究了两个时间反演不变的拓扑超导体之间的结,并表明该系统经历了一系列的多个过渡之间的$0$结相,其中的自由能有其最小的超导相位差为零,和$π$结相,其中的自由能有其最小的超导相位差为$π$。这些转变发生在没有库仑阻塞或磁性杂质的情况下。相反,它们是由结中的自旋轨道耦合驱动的,并且可以例如通过测量作为结的长度或其费米速度的函数的隧穿态密度或临界电流来探测。

英文摘要:

We study a junction between two time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors and show this system goes through a series of multiple transitions between a $0$-junction phase, where the free energy has its minimum for a superconducting phase difference of zero, and a $π$-junction phase, where the free energy has its minimum for a superconducting phase difference of $π$. These transitions occur in the absence of Coulomb blockade or magnetic impurities. Rather, they are driven by the spin orbit coupling in the junction, and can be probed, for example, by measuring the tunneling density of states or the critical current as a function of the junction's length or its Fermi velocity.
