Novel 0– π transitions in Josephson junctions between noncentrosymmetric superconductors

Abstract: We study the Josephson effect between two noncentrosymmetric superconductors (NCSs) with opposite polarization vectors of Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC). We find a 0-π transition driven by the triplet-singlet ratio of NCSs. Different from conventional 0-π transitions, the Andreev bound states change their energy range instead of phase shift in the 0-π transition found here. This novel property results in a feature that the critical current becomes almost zero at the transition point, not only a minimum. Fur… Show more

“…A 𝜋-phase shift has been theoretically predicted in Josephson junctions, involving heavy-fermion superconducting systems, [1] noncentrosymmetric superconductors, [2] and cuprate superconductors. [3] The formation of 𝜋-regions in grain boundary junctions is attributed to the combined effects of the dominant 𝑑 𝑥 2 −𝑦 2 wave order parameter symmetry of the YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 and the faceted microstructure of the grain boundary.…”
