Magnon-Cooparons in magnet-superconductor hybrids
Date/Time: 11:00 30-Jun-2022
Abstract:
Generation and detection of spinfull Cooper pairs in conventional superconductors has been intensely pursued by designing increasingly complex magnet-superconductor hybrids. We demonstrate theoretically that magnons with nonzero wavenumbers universally induce a cloud of spinfull triplet Cooper pairs around them in an adjacent conventional superconductor. The resulting composite quasiparticle, termed magnon-cooparon, consists of a spin flip in the magnet screened by a cloud of the spinfull superfluid condensate. Thus, it inherits a large effective mass, which can be measured experimentally. Furthermore, we demonstrate that two magnetic wires deposited on a superconductor serve as a controllable magnonic directional coupler mediated by the nonlocal and composite nature of magnon-cooparons. Our analysis predicts a quasiparticle that enables generation, control, and use of spinfull triplet Cooper pairs in the simplest magnet-superconductor heterostructures.
