Superconductivity and spin–orbit coupling in non-centrosymmetric materials: a review
Superconductivity and spin–orbit coupling in non-centrosymmetric materials: a review
In non-centrosymmetric superconductors, where the crystal structure lacks a centre of inversion, parity is no longer a good quantum number and an electronic antisymmetric spin–orbit coupling (ASOC) is allowed to exist by symmetry. If this ASOC is sufficiently large, it has profound consequences on the superconducting state. For example, it …
