Abstract
We consider a Josephson junction with an arbitrary transmission coefficient between a singlet and a triplet superconductor with the latter order parameter characterized by a d-vector of the form (). Various quantities such as the tunnelling current, spin accumulation, and spin current are calculated via the quasiclassical Green's functions. We also present a symmetry argument on the existence of these quantities and their dependencies on the phase difference across the junction. A physical picture is also given in terms of the Andreev states near the junction.
