Magneto-electric effects in superconducting hybrid structures with spin-orbit coupling

Resumen del trabajo presentado al Workshop Spin-Orbit Materials, celebrado en Luxemburgo del 24 al 26 de julio de 2017.Spin-dependent fields acting on superconductivity lead to intriguing phenomena related to the singlet-triplet conversion of the superconducting condensate. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling this conversion is the analog to the charge-spin coupling in normal systems. The singlet-triplet coupling leads to the superconducting counterparts of magneto-electric effects, like the Spin-Hall (SHE) and the Edelstein (EE) effects. In a Josephson junction with spin-orbit coupling one can establish a direct connection between the inverse EE, also known as the spin-galvanic effect, and the appearance of an anomalous phase shift 0 in the current-phase relation. In this talk I will present a theoretical framework to discuss all the above magneto-electric effects in disorder superconducting structures with intrinsic and extrinsic spin-orbit coupling.Peer Reviewe
