The authors' main claim Performing quasiclassical calculations on a two-dimensional system, with an external magnetic flux to generate a DC current, we show that the current can trigger a transition to a state with a domain wall between regions of different chiralities.

We study theoretically the impact of an applied DC-current on a mesoscopic chiral $p$-wave superconductor. Performing quasiclassical calculations on a two-dimensional system, with an external magnetic flux to generate a DC current, we show that the current can trigger a transition to a state with a domain wall between regions of different chiralities. The system shows an hysteretic behavior, as different domain wall configurations are possible for a given current. This domain wall creation mechanism can give new insights on recent experiments observing anomalous current variations in Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ junctions.

What this paper does with the arXiv papers it cites

Each citing sentence is taken from the citing paper's LaTeX source and typed by Pith's classifier. A label appears at probability 0.8 or more (0.95 for support), a contest at 0.7 or more; the quoted words are the citing authors'. How each label was checked · JSON

  • [ref] We write $ĝ$ in terms of the Ricatti amplitudes $a$ and $b$ (we now omit the $𝐫$, $𝐤_F$ and $ω_n$ dependence for brevity), with: [equation] The amplitudes $a$ and $b$ obey the Ricatti equations: [equation] As the derivate appears only in $𝐯_F·∇$, the Ricatti equations can be written as 1d equations along the semi-classical trajectories (given by the direction of $𝐯_F$).
