Motivated by a recent experiment [R. S. Keizer, et. al., Nature 439, 825 (2006)], we study the Josephson effect in superconductor/diffusive half metal/superconductor junctions. The Josephson π-state is more stable than the 0-junction when the spin-flip scattering at the junction interface opens the Josephson channel of the odd-frequency Cooper pairs.

We investigated transport characteristics of composite that consist of the superconductor MgB2 and ferromagnetic half-metallic nanoparticles La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO). The experiments were carried out in a wide temperature range with different volume content of the magnetic impurity. It was found that over 25% of the impurity manganite breaches percolation paths of the diboride magnesium. This leads to a considerable broadening of the MgB2 superconducting transition and the formation of the network of contacts through the ferromagnetic inclusions. This result shows the possibility of the spin - activated surface realization on the superconductor - manganite boundary. It's allowing the free transition of Cooper pairs with s wave symmetry of the order parameter in a ferromagnet with 100% spin-polarized carriers.

In this letter, the results on the development and simulation of new three-dimensional nanotraps for cold dressed atoms are considered. The traps are the multi-cell structures built by crossed non-touching carbon or metallic nanotubes. The trapping effect is tuned by the DC and RF currents to confine the strong- or low-potential seeking atoms far enough from the areas of strong Casimir–Polder and spin-flip forces. It is supposed that the developed and simulated multi-cell structures are pertinent for catching the Bose–Einstein condensates to demonstrate the Josephson effect, and to enable the study of the entanglement of confined clouds in three-dimensional nano-cells.

Abstract We present an anomalous Josephson effect in a TI-based Josephson junction with a ferromagnetic insulator (FI) trilayer which has noncoplanar magnetizations. It is shown that there exist equal spin-singlet and -triplet correlations due to the magnetism-tuning chiral Dirac energy band structure combined with the spin precession and selective equal spin Andreev reflection by chiral Majorana modes (CMMs). The consequent anomalous Josephson supercurrent is exhibited, in which a 0-π or similar 0 - π state transition through phase shift is induced only by exchange field strengths of the first FI region, while the ϕ0 supercurrent and the maximum one gradually drop with the increase of exchange field strengths of the second and third FI regions without relative state transitions. The much different features are found by varying the lengths of trilayer. The Andreev bound states without hybridization for the CMM administrate these features, which could be used to probe and confirm the zero energy CMM. In addition, the corresponding free energies are presented and discussed.

A model is introduced for two reduced BCS systems which are coupled through the transfer of Cooper pairs between the systems. The model may thus be used in the analysis of the Josephson effect arising from pair tunneling between two strongly coupled small metallic grains. At a particular coupling strength the model is integrable and explicit results are derived for the energy spectrum, conserved operators, integrals of motion, and wave function scalar products. It is also shown that form factors can be obtained for the calculation of correlation functions. Furthermore, a connection with perturbed conformal field theory is made.
