We investigate the intrinsic anomalous thermal Hall effect as an effective probe of the order parameters of non-unitary pairing states of the putative spin-triplet superconductor UTe$_2$. We consider all symmetry-allowed non-unitary states…

Andreev reflection is a fundamental transport process occurring at the junction between a normal metal and a superconductor (a N-S junction), when an incident electron from the normal side can only be transmitted in the superconductor as a…

Andreev reflection (AR) refers to the electron-hole conversion at the normal metal-superconductor interface. In a three-dimensional metal with spherical Fermi surface, retro (specular) AR can occur with the sign reversal of all three (a…
