Current driven FFLO state in unconventional superconductors
ORAL
Abstract
The typical Fulde-Farell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state is known as the superconducting state with periodic spatial variation of order parameter which becomes stable under a Zeeman magnetic field. Here, we suggest that a kind of FFLO state, Cooper pair with a finite center of mass momentum, can be induced without a magnetic field. We investigate the FFLO state in $d$-wave superconductivity with an external current. In this case, the direction of the induced center of mass momentum of FFLO state is orthogonal to the direction of the external current. We discuss the detail conditions of the gap function for the current driven FFLO state.
