Tunneling into d-wave superconductors: Effects of interface spin-orbit coupling

Superconductivity 2015-05-19 v1

Abstract

Tunneling conductance of a clean normal metal/d-wave superconductor junction is studied by using the extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk formalism. We show that the conductance is significantly affected by the interface spin-orbit coupling of the Rashba type, which is inevitably present due to the asymmetry of the junction.
