SPICE Workshop on Unconventional Superconductors and Magnets May 12th - 14th, 2026
Stuart Parkin
The vast majority of superconducting materials exhibit condensates formed from Cooper pairs that have zero spin angular momentum. The search for triplet superconductors in which the supercurrents can carry finite spin angular momentum has been of great interest for a number of years. We discuss various means of achieving triplet superconductivity in heterostructures formed from combinations of magnetic – both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic - and conventional superconducting layers. Our goal is to use triplet supercurrents to manipulate the magnetic state of magnetic nano-structures at cryogenic temperatures for the purpose of building highly energy efficient spintronic memory and computing devices.
