Magnetoelectric effects in gyrotropic superconductors

Abstract

This work shows that applied supercurrent generates spin magnetization in superconductors with gyrotropic point group symmetry. Specifically, the authors propose two types of novel supercurrent induced spin magnetization: the longitudinal type in which the spin magnetization is parallel to the supercurrent direction, and the in-plane supercurrent induced out of plane spin magnetization.
