Phase-sensitive measurements confirm odd-parity pairing in Sr2RuO4. This indicates spin-triplet Cooper pairs form, a key finding for understanding unconventional superconductivity.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Superconductivity

Background:

  • Strontium Ruthenium Oxide (Sr2RuO4) is a material exhibiting unconventional superconductivity.
  • Determining the pairing symmetry of the superconducting order parameter in Sr2RuO4 is crucial for understanding its electronic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To unambiguously establish the odd-parity pairing symmetry in Sr2RuO4.
  • To verify the formation of spin-triplet Cooper pairs in this material.

Main Methods:

  • Phase-sensitive measurements were performed on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs).
  • SQUIDs were fabricated using gold-indium (Au(0.5)In(0.5)) junctions on Sr2RuO4 single crystals.
  • Critical current measurements were analyzed in the limit of zero magnetic flux.

Main Results:

  • The critical current exhibited a maximum for junctions on the same crystal side and a minimum for junctions on opposite sides.
  • This behavior indicates a phase change of pi in the superconducting order parameter under inversion.
  • These results provide strong evidence for odd-parity pairing symmetry.

Conclusions:

  • The study confirms the odd-parity pairing symmetry in Sr2RuO4.
  • The findings verify the formation of spin-triplet Cooper pairs, advancing the understanding of unconventional superconductors.
