Exciting odd frequency equal-spin-triplet correlations at metal-superconductor interfaces
arXiv:2011.06906 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.054519
Abstract
We predict the occurrence of odd frequency equal-spin-triplet correlations at a normal metal-superconductor junction. This result is significant because equal-spin-triplet correlations are associated with the presence of dissipation-less pure spin current. Inserting a spin-flipper at the interface of a normal metal-superconductor junction excites equal-spin-triplet correlations. The existence of odd frequency equal-spin-triplet correlations in absence of odd frequency mixed spin-triplet correlations is the main take-home message of this work. It tallies well with the measured local magnetization density of states and spin-polarized local density of states at the interface. The importance of spin-flip scattering to the obtained results is manifest when we compare our normal metal-spin flipper-superconductor junction to other hybrid junctions where either only spin mixing or both spin mixing and spin-flip scattering are present.
