We study the Josephson effect in the spin-singlet superconductor/altermagnet/spin-triplet superconductor junctions using the Green's function method. The current-phase difference relationships in the junctions strongly depend on the orientation of altermagnet and the types of the Cooper pairs. For the orientation angle equal to odd multiples of $π/4$, the current-phase difference relationships are of the $\sin{2ϕ}$ type, which are irrespective of the pairing wave functions in superconductors. For the other orientation angles, the emergence of the lowest order current becomes possible and its form, $\sinϕ$ or $\cosϕ$, depends on the pairing wave functions in superconductors. The $ϕ_{0}$ phase and the $0$-$π$ transition can be realized in our junctions due to the appearance of the lowest order current. The selection rules for the lowest order current are presented. The symmetric relations satisfied by the current-phase difference relationships are analyzed through considering the transformations of the junctions under the mirror reflection, the time-reversal and the spin rotation operations. Our results not only provide a method to detect the intrinsic spin-triplet superconductivity but also possess application values in the design of the field-free quantum devices.

Intrinsic Andreev $π$-reflection and Josephson $π$-junction for centrosymmetric spin-triplet superconductors
本文系统地研究了Andreev $π$ -相位和轨道相位对约瑟夫森效应的影响。当系统是中心对称的时反不变性时,这两个相位只出现在奇宇称对中。Andreev $π$ -相位与奇宇称对的具体形式无关,并且意味着在Andreev反射中进入和离开CTSC的自旋三重态库珀对之间的固有$π$ -相位。轨道相位对应于具有相反自旋极化的自旋三重态库珀对之间的相位差,并取决于奇宇称能隙函数的具体形式。当约瑟夫森结的正常区与具有特定奇宇称配对的CTSC同一侧接触时,两相之间的竞争可以导致约瑟夫森$π$结。注意,该结不同于传统的约瑟夫森结(JJ),并且根据其几何形状被称为U形结。同时,在常规JJ中,这两个阶段的相互作用导致它们对CPR的影响被完全抵消。因此,无论CTSC具有什么样的配对对称性,在这种情况下都将导致约瑟夫森0结。我们得到我们的结果的基础上的模型的M $_{x}$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$家族,其中M可以是Cu,Sr,或Nb。因此,我们提出了通过一个U形约瑟夫森结的超导量子干涉装置来检测M $_{x}$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$的配对对称性。
