When the impurity mean free path is short, only spin-polarized Cooper pairs which are non-locally and antisymmetrically correlated in time may exist in a half-metallic ferromagnet. As a consequence, the half-metal acts as an odd-frequency…

We consider Josephson junctions formed by multiple superconductors with distinct phases and explore the formation of nonlocal or inter-superconductor pair correlations. We find that the multiple superconductor nature offers an additional…
Odd-frequency superconductivity, originally proposed by Berezinskii in 1974, is an exotic phase of matter in which Cooper pairing between electrons is entirely dynamical in nature. The pair potential is an odd function of frequency, leading…
