Spin Susceptibility of a J=3/2 Superconductor

Superconductivity 2023-04-14 v2

Abstract

We discuss the spin susceptibility of superconductors in which a Cooper pair consists of two electrons having the angular momentum J=3/2 due to strong spin-orbit interactions. The susceptibility is calculated analytically for pseudospin quintet states in a cubic superconductor within the linear response to a Zeeman field. The susceptibility for A1gA_{1g} symmetry states is isotropic in real space. For EgE_g and T2gT_{2g} symmetry cases, the results depend sensitively on choices of order parameter. The susceptibility is isotropic for a T2gT_{2g} symmetry state, whereas it becomes anisotropic for an EgE_{g} symmetry state. We also find in a T2gT_{2g} state that the susceptibility tensor has off-diagonal elements.
