Odd-triplet superconductivity in single-level quantum dots
arXiv:1707.01791 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.96.064529
Abstract
We study the interplay of spin and charge coherence in a single-level quantum dot. A tunnel coupling to a superconducting lead induces superconducting correlations in the dot. With full spin symmetry retained, only even-singlet superconducting correlations are generated. An applied magnetic field or attached ferromagnetic leads partially or fully reduce the spin symmetry, and odd-triplet superconducting correlations are generated as well. For single-level quantum dots, no other superconducting correlations are possible. We analyze, with the help of a diagrammatic real-time technique, the interplay of spin symmetry and superconductivity and its signatures in electronic transport, in particular current and shot noise.
