Spin susceptibility of nonunitary spin-triplet superconductors

Superconductivity 2024-07-22 v1

Abstract

The spin susceptibility is an important probe to characterize the symmetry of the order parameter in unconventional superconductors. Among them, nonunitary triplet superconductors have attracted a lot of attention recently in the context of the search for topological superconductivity. Here, we derive a general formula for the spin susceptibility of nonunitary triplet superconductors within a single-band model of non-magnetic, centrosymmetric materials with strong spin-orbit coupling. We use it to critically assess experimental claims of nonunitary triplet superconductivity in some materials.
