Alignment of chiral order parameter domains in Sr_{2} RuO_{4} by magnetic field cooling

Francoise Kidwingira, Joel D. Strand, D. J. Van Harlingen +1

Superconductivity in Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ is unconventional, believed to be of $p_x\pm i{p}_y$ pairing symmetry. These two degenerate order parameters allow the formation of chiral…
