Spin-triplet supercurrent spin valves are of practical importance for the realization of superconducting spintronic logic circuits. In ferromagnetic Josephson junctions, the magnetic-field-controlled non-collinearity between the spin-mixer and spin-rotator magnetizations switches the spin-polarized triplet supercurrents on and off. Here we report an antiferromagnetic equivalent of such spin-triplet supercurrent spin valves in chiral antiferromagnetic Josephson junctions as well as a direct-current superconducting quantum interference device. We employ the topological chiral antiferromagnet Mn3Ge, in which the Berry curvature of the band structure produces fictitious magnetic fields, and the non-collinear atomic-scale spin arrangement accommodates triplet Cooper pairing over long distances (>150 nm). We theoretically verify the observed supercurrent spin-valve behaviours under a small magnetic field of <2 mT for current-biased junctions and the direct-current superconducting quantum interference device functionality. Our calculations reproduce the observed hysteretic field interference of the Josephson critical current and link these to the magnetic-field-modulated antiferromagnetic texture that alters the Berry curvature. Our work employs band topology to control the pairing amplitude of spin-triplet Cooper pairs in a single chiral antiferromagnet.

作为自旋三重态超电流自旋阀和直流 SQUID 的手性反铁磁约瑟夫森结

自旋三重态超流自旋阀对于实现超导自旋电子逻辑电路具有重要的实际意义。在铁磁约瑟夫森结中,自旋混合器和自旋旋转器磁化之间的磁场控制的非共线性可打开和关闭自旋极化三线态超电流。在这里,我们报告了手性反铁磁约瑟夫森结中这种自旋三重态超流自旋阀的反铁磁等效物以及直流超导量子干涉装置。我们采用拓扑手性反铁磁体 Mn 3 Ge,其中能带结构的贝里曲率产生虚拟磁场,并且非共线原子级自旋排列适应长距离(> 150 nm)的三重态库珀配对。我们从理论上验证了在<2 mT的小磁场下观察到的电流偏置结的超流自旋阀行为和直流超导量子干涉装置的功能。我们的计算再现了观察到的约瑟夫森临界电流的磁滞场干扰,并将这些干扰与改变贝里曲率的磁场调制反铁磁纹理联系起来。我们的工作采用能带拓扑来控制单个手性反铁磁体中自旋三重态库珀对的配对幅度。
