$\boldsymbol{d}$-vector precession induced pumping in topological $p$-wave superconductors
Abstract
Time-reversal invariant -wave superconductors (SCs) are characterized by their -vectors, whose orientations could be manipulated by a tiny magnetic field. We study in this paper the adiabatic pumping process induced by periodically rotating -vector in a topological -wave SC, which is coupled to two normal leads. If -vector rotates nearly within a plane, the pumped spin over one cycle is nearly quantized at without net charge pumping. When the pumping lead is fully spin-polarized, both the pumped charge and spin would peak nearly at . When a mixing -wave pairing component is taken into account, a topological phase transition can be driven by modulating the ratio between the pairing components. We found a sharp resonance phenomenon near the phase transition when the -wave -vector is adiabatically rotating, which may help experimentally distinguish the topological SCs from trivial ones.
