Clapping modes in unconventional superconductors
Abstract
We consider a superconducting state with a mixed symmetry order parameter components, e.g. or with . We argue for the existence of the new orbital magnetization mode which corresponds to the oscillations of relative phase between two components around an equilibrium value of . It is similar to the so called ``clapping'' mode in superfluid . We estimate the frequency of this mode depending on the field and temperature for the specific case of magnetic field induced state. We find that this mode is {\em tunable} with an applied magnetic field with , where is the magnitude of the d-wave order parameter. We argue also that similar filed induced clapping mode should be present in an organic p-wave superconductors.
