Supercurrent diode with high winding vortex
Yuri Fukaya, Maria Teresa Mercaldo, Daniel Margineda +5
Nonreciprocal supercurrent refers to the phenomenon where the maximum dissipationless current in a superconductor depends on its direction of flow. This asymmetry underlies the ope…
High orbital-moment Cooper pairs by crystalline symmetry breaking
Maria Teresa Mercaldo, Carmine Ortix, Mario Cuoco
The pairing structure of superconducting materials is regulated by the point group symmetries of the crystal. Here, we study spin-singlet multiorbital superconductivity in material…
Zero magnetic-field orbital vortices in s-wave spin-singlet superconductors
Maria Teresa Mercaldo, Carmine Ortix, Francesco Giazotto +1
Breaking of time-reversal and point-group spatial symmetries can have a profound impact on superconductivity. One of the most extraordinary effects, due to the application of a mag…
Josephson Current in Rashba-based Superconducting Nanowires with Geometric Misalignment
Zu-Jian Ying, Mario Cuoco, Paola Gentile +1
We investigate the properties of a weak link between two Rashba-based superconducting nanowires with geometric misalignment. By applying an external magnetic field the system can b…
Tuning Pairing Amplitude and Spin-Triplet Texture by Curving Superconducting Nanostructures
Zu-Jian Ying, Mario Cuoco, Carmine Ortix +1
We investigate the nature of the superconducting state in curved nanostructures with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC). In bent nanostructures with inhomogeneous curvature we find…
Proximity of Iron Pnictide Superconductors to a Quantum Tricritical Point
G. Giovannetti, C. Ortix, M. Marsman +3
We determine the nature of the magnetic quantum critical point in the doped LaFeAsO using a set of constrained density functional calculations that provide ab initio coefficients f…
