Test Experiment for Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking Superconductivity

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

A new experiment is proposed to probe the time-reversal symmetry of a superconductor. It is shown that a time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductor can be identified by the observation of a fractional flux in connection with a Josephson junction in a special geometry.
