Spin-Orbit Locking as a Protection Mechanism of the Odd-Parity Superconducting State against Disorder
Spin-Orbit Locking as a Protection Mechanism of the Odd-Parity Superconducting State against Disorder
Unconventional superconductors host a plethora of interesting physical phenomena. However, the standard theory of superconductivity suggests that unconventional pairing is highly sensitive to disorder, and hence can only be observed in ultraclean systems. We find that due to an emergent chiral symmetry, spin-orbital locking can parametrically suppress pair decoherence introduced …
