On-off switch and sign change for non-local Josephson diode in spin-valve Andreev molecules
arXiv:2306.13124 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.174502
Abstract
Andreev molecules consist of two coherently coupled Josephson junctions and permit non-local control over supercurrents. By making the barriers magnetic and thus creating a spin-valve, we predict that a non-local Josephson diode effect occurs that is switchable via the magnetic configuration of the barriers. The diode effect is turned on, off, or changes its sign depending on whether the spin-valve is in a parallel, normal, or antiparallel configuration. These results offer a way to exert complete control over a non-local Josephson diode effect via the spin degree of freedom rather than varying a global magnetic flux which affects the entire system and likely neighbouring components in a device architecture.
