Field-angle Resolved Flux-flow Resistivity as a Phase-sensitive Probe of Unconventional Cooper Pairing


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We theoretically investigate the applied magnetic field-angle dependence of the flux-flow resistivity $rho_{rm f}(alpha_{rm M})$ for an uniaxially anisotropic Fermi surface. $rho_{rm f}$ is related to the quasiparticle scattering rate $varGamma$ inside a vortex core, which reflects the sign change in the superconducting pair potential. We find that $rho_{rm f}(alpha_{rm M})$ is sensitive to the sign-change in the pair potential and has its maximum when the magnetic field is parallel to the gap-node direction. We propose the measurement of the field-angle dependent oscillation of $rho_{rm f}(alpha_{rm M})$ as a phase-sensitive field-angle resolved experiment.
