奇频超导体中的自旋注入和自旋弛豫

Spin injection and spin relaxation in odd-frequency superconductors

Lina G. Johnsen, Jacob Linder

摘要:

由于奇频自旋三重态超导体具有独特的对称性,其内部的自旋输运不同于常规超导体。我们研究自旋输运内出现的奇频超导体取代Usadel方程中的自旋单重态间隙矩阵与矩阵表示自旋三重态配对,是奇数下的反转的能量。我们表明,状态密度的特殊性质允许一个更大的自旋注入比正常状态。此外,当奇频配对通过邻近效应从传统超导体继承其温度依赖性时,态密度可以随着温度的降低从无隙转变为有隙。在跃迁点,奇频超导体内部的自旋积累达到峰值,并且大于正常态。虽然自旋翻转散射时间是已知的常规超导体的超导转变温度以下减少,我们发现,同样是真实的自旋轨道散射时间在奇频超导体。这种重整化对于靠近能隙边缘的能量特别大,如果这样的能隙存在的话。

英文摘要:

The spin transport inside an odd-frequency spin-triplet superconductor differs from that of a conventional superconductor due to its distinct symmetry properties. We study spin transport inside an emergent odd-frequency superconductor by replacing the spin-singlet gap matrix in the Usadel equation with a matrix representing spin-triplet pairing that is odd under inversion of energy. We show that the peculiar nature of the density of states allows for an even larger spin injection than in the normal-state. Moreover, when the odd-frequency pairing inherits its temperature dependence from a conventional superconductor through the proximity effect, the density of states can transition from gapless to gapped as the temperature decreases. At the transition point, the spin accumulation inside the odd-frequency superconductor is peaked and larger than in the normal-state. While the spin-flip scattering time is known to decrease below the superconducting transition temperature in conventional superconductors, we find that the same is true for the spin-orbit scattering time in odd-frequency superconductors. This renormalization is particularly large for energies close to the gap edge, if such a gap is present.
