Cooper pair splitting in diffusive magnetic SQUIDs
Cornell University

2016.
We study Josephson junctions with weak links consisting of two parallel disordered arms with magnetic properties -- ferromagnetic, half-metallic or normal with magnetic impurities. In the case of long links, the Josephson effect is dominated by mesoscopic fluctuations. In this regime, the system realises a $\varphi_0$ junction with sample-dependent $\varphi_0$ and critical current. Cooper pair splitting between the two arms plays a major role and leads to $2\Phi_0$ periodicity of the current as a function of flux between the arms. We calculate the current and its flux and polarization dependence for the three types of magnetic links.

Quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channels host sound-like plasma modes propagating along the
which are associated with fluctuations of the phase of the superconducting order parameter (Mooiji and
1985) [5]. Interaction between these electromagnetic excitations and charge carriers affects the electron density
of states (DOS). I-V characteristics of tunnel S1-I-S2 junctions, where superconducting S2 electrode

We consider ballistic SQUIDs with spin filtering inside half-metallic ferromagnetic arms. A singlet Cooper pair
cannot pass through an arm in this case, so the Josephson current is entirely due to the Cooper pair splitting, with
two electrons going to different interferometer arms. In order to elucidate the mechanisms of Josephson transport
due to split Cooper pairs, we ...

We consider a long diffusive Josephson junction where the weak link is a thin (normal metal (N)–ferromagnet (F)) bilayer (N and F form parallel links between superconductors (Ss)). We show that superconductivity in the weak link can be described by an effective one-dimensional Usadel equation containing a “diluted” exchange field as well as a weak ...

The current–voltage characteristics of superconductor–insulator–semiconductor (S1–I–S2)
tunnel junctions, where superconducting electrode S2 is a thin nanowire, are studied experimentally. The
observed blurring of the gap singularities is interpreted as a manifestation of the order parameter quantum
fluctuations. We propose a model taking into account the broadening of the density of states due to the interaction
of electrons with the ...

The transport properties of two types of quasi-one-dimensional superconducting microstructures were investigated at ultra-low temperatures: the narrow channels close-packed in the shape of meander, and the chains of tunneling contacts "superconductor-insulator-superconductor." Both types of the microstructures demonstrated high value of high-frequency impedance and-or the dynamic resistance. The study opens up potential for using of such ...

Superconducting properties of metallic nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors because of the dominating role played by thermal and quantum fluctuations of the order parameter. For superconducting channels with diameters below ∼ 50 nm fluctuations of the phase of the complex order parameter - the phase slippage - lead to non-zero ...

We investigate the influence of quantum phase fluctuations on electron density of states (DOS) in ultrathin superconducting films and nanowires. Using an effective action approach we derive a non-perturbative correction to DOS in such systems. The main effect of phase fluctuations in quasi-two-dimensional films is the appearance of electron states at subgap energies while in ...

Mesoscopic fluctuations of the local density of states encode multifractal correlations in disordered electron systems. We study fluctuations of the local density of states in a superconducting state of weakly disordered films. We perform numerical computations in the framework of the disordered attractive Hubbard model on two-dimensional square lattices. Our numerical results are explained by ...

We extend the basic theory of Andreev reflection (AR) in a normal metal/superconductor junction to the situation with an arbitrary time-dependent bias voltage V(t) across the junction. The central element of the theory is the fact that the Fourier transform of the AR amplitude has a casual structure. As an example, the theory is used to describe ...

We work out a microscopic theory describing complete statistics of voltage fluctuations generated by quantum phase slips (QPS) in superconducting nanowires. We evaluate the cumulant generating function and demonstrate that shot noise of the voltage as well as the thir d and all higher voltage cumulants differ from zero only due to the presence of ...

The interplay of Anderson localization and electron-electron interactions is known to lead to enhancement of superconductivity due to multifractality of electron wave functions. We develop the theory of multifractally-enhanced superconducting states in two-dimensional systems in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. Using the Finkel'stein nonlinear sigma model, we derive the modified Usadel and gap equations that ...

Рассматривается длинный диффузный контакт Джозефсона, слабой связью в котором является тонкий бислой нормальный металл (N)–ферромагнетик (F), так что N и F образуют параллельные связи между сверхпроводниками S. Показано, что сверхпроводимость в такой слабой связи описывается эффективным одномерным уравнением Узаделя, содержащим ослабленное обменное поле, а также распаривающий член. Механизм распаривания основан на неотъемлемой неоднородности бислоя и ...

Volt-ampere characteristics of narrow superconducting titanum wires have been studied experimentally. The narrowest specimens measured by means of high-resistance contacts have revealed a behavior nontrivial for superconductors: the Coulomb blockade. The Coulomb gap size correlates with the frequency of quantum phase slips. The observation confirms the identity of quantum dynamics of charge in the Josephson ...

We consider an interferometer based on artificially induced topological superconductivity and chiral one-dimensional (1D) Majorana fermions. The (nontopological) superconducting island inducing the superconducting correlations in the topological substrate is assumed to be floating. This allows probing the physics of interfering Majorana modes via microwave response, i.e., the frequency-dependent impedance between the island and the earth. ...

Mesoscopic superconductivity deals with various quasiparticle excitation modes, only one of them—the charge-mode—being directly accessible for conductance measurements due to the imbalance in populations of quasi-electron and quasihole excitation branches. Other modes carrying heat or even spin, valley etc. currents populate the branches equally and are charge-neutral, which makes them much harder to control. This ...
