Anomalous Josephson Current in Junctions with Spin Polarizing Quantum Point Contacts

Anomalous Josephson Current in Junctions with Spin Polarizing Quantum Point Contacts

We consider a ballistic Josephson junction with a quantum point contact in a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The point contact acts as a spin filter when embedded in a circuit with normal electrodes. We show that with an in-plane external magnetic field an anomalous supercurrent appears even …
